Some days I'm my best and some days my worst. The actual worst was grade school but nowadays I get stuck in very stressful situations that pile up and I have basically no talk days. Recently I had to give a presentation at work (I'm a teacher) and it was a baaaaaaad day for whatever reason (do we ever really know?) and I tried to get out of it but I just powered through it. I developed a mindset a long time ago that I'm a professional and if you can't handle me stammering 1 day a week you're the unprofessional one.
