Ooops - how could I forget?

So yesterday I received an email reminder about a presentation I am attending today. It took only a couple seconds before the panick set in - I am the presenter! I had totally forgot and didn't have anything prepared. So working like a mad woman, I was able to throw together a 55-slide PowerPoint presentation as well as a cooresponding handout in less than 24 hours. Crazy! I now realize how important it is to plan ahead. I am much more calm and confident when better prepared. But ... I made it through.
