Where's the remote thingy for the PowerPoint?

Laughing all the Way to Work

Some people in the office were trying to get the remote working as we had a PowerPoint presentation coming up and were calling it things like remote thingy , remote slide clicker, wireless mouse so I finally asked, "Does anyone know what the official name for that thing is?" It's called a Presentation Remote. Thanks Patty.

I look like that!!

Laughing all the Way to Work

I was in a workshop today on presentation skills and one of the things they had us do was present something to the group while they filmed us.

It's all in how you feel

Laughing all the Way to Work

I recall the first day of school feeling so smart in my new clothes as I proudly walked to meet my friends. I was eager to open my brand new book bag and get my pencil and write the first words in my new scribbler. How you present yourself and what you wear to the office can help how you feel about what you are doing.
