10od
They're gonna notice you.
4crq

10od
So you just wrote out the meeting somewhere else. And did anybody notice after?
11orq
You know, after a few weeks in a row of running out, yeah. You know, my boss was like, I realize you didn't make your presentation and, you know, I just I made up an excuse, like, I got a phone call or I didn't feel good or, you know, I stumbled through some excuse, but I feel bad because I mean, this is my job. And I want to do my job. And I mean, how I've lived with this, I feel like forever, you know, because I, I had a terrible time making presentations in high school. I had a terrible time making presentations in college. And here we are again, and I try to be a professional and have a career and make a life. I can't, because I can't perform my job. I want to do my job. I like my job.
10od

6cd
Have there been times where you've fled the room? And then since then you haven't.
1irq
There was one time, actually the very first time I ran out. And I didn't go back and nobody noticed. And then the second time, that following week, I started to feel that way again. And then two of my co workers to the other managers actually started to get into a fight. One of them wanted more money for their program for something or other and the controller was like, No, we have no money you can't have it's a nonprofit, so there's no money. And it was it was like getting really intense. And I don't know what it was. I just, I was fine.
0id
Something about that intense interaction changed how you're feeling distracted you something like that.
4crq
Yeah, I guess it just, I don't know. It just didn't I, I felt I felt fine. I felt normal.
6cd
So from from that meeting on like till now, have you been able to stay in for eight other meetings? No. She had to leave because of the intensity of the symptoms.
11orq
Yeah, I've there been a couple times where actually I've
10od
I've I've purposely gone in late hours that I've had car trouble and a habit and I've just gone in late or I've actually just called in sick for the day. There was twice I sent somebody else in my place, saying that, you know, when I was sick, but I mean, it gets noticed.

4crq
no, no, I want to do my job. I really like my job. I really do. And I like where I work. And I like the people. But the thought of making these presentations every week just terrifies me.
6cd
And I don't want my boss to regret putting me in this
6cd
position. I don't want to disappoint him. I mean, I know he took a big chance, you know, putting me in this position. You know, I don't have a lot of experience doing this. And there were, you know, potentially there could have been other people that were better qualified, but you know, he chose me. I don't want to let him down. And I feel like I am every week with this meeting.
6cd

6cd
I, I have started to drink a little bit to try and take the edge off. A friend of mine has said before that it's something that she's done to, to help when she's nervous. And so I've, I've tried a shot or two before going into my meeting and
3gc
