I have to do *another* presentation.

[redqueen]

If I was supertitious I'd be wondering which God I pissed off, cause damn.

The last one was hell, and I don't expect this one to be any better. This one is for work and not school though, so... it'll be different at least. :P

I hate PowerPoint with the firey intensity of a million hypergiants.

1. I thought I heard a story on the news

about someone from the Pentagon saying PowerPoint is a security weakness for the armed forces....

[redqueen]

2. That's weird...

I wonder why that'd be so. I did a little Googling but couldn't find it. Hmmmmm

9. Here it is. "Powerpoint makes us stupid" is the quote...

3. Don't forget to put your name on every slide.

It's more professional that way.

[Dr. Strange]

5. That's what I do.

Inevitably, when I get to the end of the presentation, they ask me, "Who or what is this 'redqueen' on each slide?"
And I just stand there and smile quietly.

[MrCoffee]

6. Those who say "Oh yeah, redqueen" then wistfully gaze out the window

They're the ones you want to do business with.

[redqueen]

7. ...

:P

Why are they torturing me? I'm a frickin office manager... isn't this crap for salespeople and executives and stuff like that? This is entirely unreasonable.

[petronius]

10. Here's a trick - in the footer of each slide put "Slide # of 118"

Even if there aren't 118 slides, the audience will be happy when you finish sooner than expected...

11. Goddamn, that's brilliant.

Makes me wish I was giving a PPT presentation.

4. go with a billion lines of unreadable text

have it load one line at a time
and read it to the audience
then give handouts that are exact copies of the entire presentation

Sure you might burn you career but you won't have to do this again.

[redqueen]

8. Brilliant!

:rofl:

[Forkboy]

12. I've never given a PowerPoint presentation dressed before.

:hide:

[redqueen]

13. What kinds of presentations are you doing?
