It's cold outside and my girl friends been at the window for hours.
Sooner or later I'll have to let her in, then what?
Ok I'm bored, I know where the door is!
I may not be that good looking, or athletic, or funny, or talented, or smart
I forgot where I was going with this but I do know I love bacon!

Wait until she's frozen, then she can't fight anymore. It also helps to put the DVD of Frozen on

Good idea about waiting until she's frozen, I can wheel her in on a dolly!
As far as putting a DVD of Frozen on, ah no. I had never heard of them so I googled...holy sh*t they suck! I wouldn't do that to her, cruel and unusual punishment!

This wouldn't be like the time you took her water-skiing in the 'Glades would it?

Same girl friend, she just doesn't appreciate anything I do for her?

Then again, there is the speech Samuel L Jackson gives in The Hateful Eight about what a person might do if they are cold enough.

So I recently contributed to a book on Microsoft Azure.
My employer heard about it (not from me as the book isn't even released yet, although it would come out like two months ago...) and asked me if I wanted to promote the book with a book presentation.
I said yes and Tuesday is the big day...
So now I have to present my book, give some good info and a few demo's on Azure, and talk for one and a half hours to 30-60 people I don't know.
Did I mention I suck at presenting and standing in front of a crowd makes me feel like I'm having a heart attack? 
I'm sure it'll be fine and I'll do a good job, but right now I'm wondering why I ever agreed to do this

It will be more fun than you imagine it to be now, so relax 
The important thing is to be knowledgeable about what you are speaking of; that, you are. If there's a little bastard continuously interrupting you with questions, tell him (or her) to save the question or write it down.
None of them comes to judge you, all of them come to learn from you. Be patient and prepared to explain stuff multiple times. If you don't know something, simply admit it and tell them you'll look it up and come back to them - don't try to bluff.
It also helps to prepare a bit; divide it into three sections of half an hour each with the first covering introduction and background. You can "plunder" 15 minutes of the last section for questions from the audience.

We are always doing what we cannot do, to learn how to do it 
Will there be someone recording the presentation? It may be something that more of us would like to see and hear

Yeah, that's exactly it. Got another presentation lined up next month and maybe one the month after that.
It's something of a new years resolution, start presenting.

I don't think so (and I'm presenting in Dutch), but you're welcome to join (Boeklancering 'Migrating Apps to the Cloud with Azure' | Rubicon[^])

Thanks for the invite, but will have to take a rain-check. I did see there was food involved, so it sounds good

I hope so!
Although I never experienced that in school

That's part of the fun and actually necessary. It's a mechanism that helps to focus and sharpen senses Actually, I've understood that even long time actors are nervous when standing in front of people in live situations and on the other hand it tells that you're taking the situation seriously.
Based on your contributions on this site I'm confident that you'll do just fine!

Best of luck for your presentation!
