A Short Lecture (Sort Off) pt1

A while back I was requested by some old buddies of mine to give a short talk to their office staff. Well, I had the experience and been in the industry long to impart whatever knowledge I have. And its going to be only 30 minutes to an hour top anyway. "What the heck" I told myself and seemed to have forgotten about it until this buddy of mine called back to remind me about my so called lecture in a week time. Dang, I had not prepared anything much, as I said to him not to worry.
As the date gotten near, I began to doubt myself of whether I still have the stomach to go through a short talk where all eyes will be on me and evaluate what I am going to say (if ever i am going to say anything that is worth listening to). So i prepared my self a 4 pages (top) PowerPoint presentation - spice up a bit with a really slow text animation to buy me time to last at least 30 minutes (to save face, i keep reminding myself)
The day came and i went there early, 30 minutes early to be exact. No one's answering the door bell so i was made to wait by myself - it was a very long wait and at one point almost decided not to go through with it and apologize to my buddies later.
