Fortunately it's just to open an event—and no one wants those to be longer than two minutes, anyway.

Cannot wait to be done with this whole thing.

I don't usually mix up words these days, but if I'm stressed or tired, I do tend to stumble over what I say. It's not the greatest when you're supposed to be a communications professional.

I'm pretty good at saying a few words on the fly, especially because that's part of my job, but I don't think people understand how stressful it can be, especially once you've had a head injury. I have to prepare for speaking engagements differently now.

Nothing like finding out 1.5 days before an event that someone volunteered you to give remarks.

I can't be clear enough in this... WE ARE OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS. Not wanting to overload us is terrible a reason for authors to avoid submitting their own (non-"AI") work. You have the stories we want to see.

Did not expect to be neck deep in ICD-10 and CDT codes this morning, but here we are, trying to define the undefinable so I can get a meaningful report, lol.

"Someone discovered that an 18-wheeler wrecked during the storm was full of bottled water & dozens of people came to grab cases & hand out cases to others, until police officers arrived & shouted for them to leave. “You are stealing!” one shouted as the crowd dispersed." Priorities=what you protect

Scenes of destruction and suffering lay almost everywhere in Swannanoa, N.C. — cars in tree limbs, mangled homes, mud-choked roads and people desperate for water and food.

Just listened to that last month!

Okay, so, I forgot that I actually picked this up during a Libro sale and it's in my library!
