Yeah! 3000 points for me!
It's a small step for most of you, it's a great step for me.
Congratulation. Well done. I will never hit 3K for sure. 🙂

Spoken by someone only 195 points away from that mark. I think you'll make it sooner than you think.

I forgot the fact that it was 2900 odd, I thought my post count was 1900 odd. 😛

And my posts are just plain odd.

A mug would have been enough, but, since I'll be unemployed in 40 days, a check wouldn't hurt. 😀

Hey Threadizens . . . I could use a hand with a question I posted over here, if anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks!

Congrats. Have fun. Don't get stressed. If you're not having fun while you're presenting, your audience sucks... kidding, you're presenting online... wait, that was kidding too. Kidding aside, have fun presenting otherwise, why bother.

I don't have mugs or much swag at all anymore. I should talk to RG about some random prizes for hitting some levels.

If we get to shake hands, however, I'd be happy to buy you a beer.

Enjoy presenting. Couple things.

1. Breathe. Easy to race through things. Take a moment at a few spots to get a drink of water or take a deep breath and pace yourself.

2. There's always someone smarter in the room. Don't worry about impressing everyone.

3. don't worry about ending a little early.

Hopefully this year at the summit we will get a chance to shake hands. But the first round of beer is on me.. 🙂

Regarding presenting, you will enjoy it. I was a bit nervous before my first presentation but it went great. Now I enjoy presenting.. 🙂
