Your thoughts during uni and work presentations

[r dub 19]

Anyone else have to sit through excruciatingly boring presentations where you are just thinking of random shit? At uni I have to sit through at least 15 a semester. Some of my thoughts during the presentations:

- Bullshit your name isn't "jon" its xiang ming lee or some other Asian name.

- I want to laugh so bad at you because no1 can understand what your saying.

-I can't stand listening to you fortunately you have some decent cans to look at.

-That video you wanted to show but didn't work was an epic failure.

During my last presentation: 'I wish I didn't decide to drink that entire bottle of vodka last night. '

It was a group research assignment and I ****ed it up for everyone. Go me.

the group presentations were better because a) there were less of them and b) generally a chick worth perving on would be involved (usually, but not always, an international student).

Recently had to sit through a tonne of group presentations to a major company for marketing.

Most groups were pretty interesting, except one group (of international students) took the cake. First off their spokesperson was of indeterminate gender, complete with vague name. Also their proposal was brilliant. They planned to raise $800,000 from selling little cupcakes, and has a very specific $124, 567 figure to be raised from a lucky draw.

I bought my laptop purely so I could play FM09 on it.

haha touche.

This thread should be helpful for those that are intimidated by public speaking.

My thoughts usually revolve around the quality of the presentation. I guess I fail in this thread

I'm always caught thinking 'if this was me, I'd love it if a few people in the class gave me a chopout and answer the questions I ask at the end', so I end up listening to the key points and unloading on the first two questions to at least get them to some credibility in the eyes of the teacher.

Although there are a couple of people who give no impression that there's any warmth in their presentation.

This.

Did a preso at uni a while ago with a few guys from Hong Kong. Their english was terrible for starters-the written stuff looked like babelfish translated it. Then the preso was supposed to be about starting an international business, so ours was a new company based in Australia. And everything said made no sense at all.

Lucky, lecturer was a moron (and also Chinese, so possibly sympathetic) and we passed. But **** it was ordinary

Start a business of your own and charge these guys to have you proofread their work. That's what I did, and Chinese students paid for a large part of my first car.

 

[rofltown]

yeah some of them are really boring
if its a bunch of internationals who can't pronounce a word of english it gets old really fast
and you just know that their going to go 5 minutes over the max allowed time too

Kudos to those who manage to at least focus on the presenters. Usually my mind wanders to Scooby Doo, astrology, twitter or some other random shit I don't want to be thinking about.

 

[THRILLHO]

Usually just take my laptop along and surf the interwebs while occasionally looking up and nodding thoughtfully.

My thoughts are pretty much random. Anything from what I'm going to have for lunch to what formation I'll use when I fire FM up later.

I'm doing one this week, so hopefully no one pays attention.

There's this one kid in my tute that makes it his life goal to ask a question after every single presentation. One of those types that thinks he's smarter than everyone else so tries to ask a question that the presenter has NFI about. Hopefully he's not there.

Interested in hearing more about this.

Yeah, I used to spend a lot of time in the UNSW law library and on two separate occasions had a Spanish girl and an Italian girl come up to me and ask for proofreading of an essay.

Both times it took a lot of effort and time, so I shouldve asked for money, not just done whatever they told me to cause they were hot and there was the vague chance of sexual relations.
