Not long enough
15mins of fame might be long enough but I’m telling you it is not long enough for a bloody presentation.
I have to do a presentation on science on television on Friday morning. Last night I timed it and it came to 54mins, today I’m using a timer and have got at the most to half way through by the time the timer goes off. I am losing slides at an alarming rate. Really bloody alarming given how long it has taken me to do the naffing things. I’m going to have to skip big chunks, and I hate doing so. It feels crappy not being able to properly explain why something is a problem, or just skim over things. Or skip things altogether.
AND I only have 2500 words for the written version. I genuinely can’t get my head around people making squealing noises at having to write *that* much because frankly it is fuck all. I could as of this minute, in my distinctly incomplete state of notes write ten times that. Easily.
I might actually lamp the next person who says “15 minutes, that’s so long”. Not fucking long enough.
