    Way to go!

    And has this got anything to do with the military? Sounds like a boot camp more than an agency!

    Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right.

    heheh well, to be fair, this time there's only one interview with a panel of representatives from different schools. The first day is a "briefing", then there's the interview on either the second or the third day, a visit to the school on the fourth day (I have no idea how I'll get there in time if it's a school in e.g. Sheffield), and the last day is a "debriefing".
    It sounds like the KGB or MI5


    congrats, seanlol! would that be ice hockey or field hockey?

    Congratulations Sleepy!!! You earned it.

    My boast: Tomorrow I will make a presentation at a conferrence of some of the leading engineers of my industry. Very high level and a very large conference. This is one of the highest honors I have ever had. This might be the pinnicle of my career for all I know. I've been preparing this presentation for two months now. I've got lots of butterflies.

    Good luck and congratulations, Virgil!

    Just make sure you spell "pinnacle" correctly!

    Wow, Virgil, I will be thinking about you and hope all goes well. I would also have giant butterflies; I can't not do public speaking at all; I would take one look at the audience and crumble. As Lynne said, knock em dead....the underwear part is a riot. Never thought of that tactic; I bet that would work quite effectively. Good luck again! I know you will do great. Keep calm, cool and focused and don't spell anything on a board! hahaha....you will do just fine.

    thanks, Scher! You remembered I like Green and Black's? I had some with the other girls last night.
    Virge, I'm sure you'll be great! Just think of the conference as already over and think of all the nice things you'll do afterwards.

    Off to the conference in a few minutes. Got a good night's sleep for a change. Thanks all. Hopefully my dog won't get my suit full of hair while I'm still home.
