Quit your daydreamin, I think we’ve found our ideal Toastmaster! Rey’s creative theme got everyone excited and forgetting they had to go back to their NON-ideal jobs at the end of the meeting. Eric was the boss of table topics this week; asking us to step into his office. Taline almost quit, but gracefully stuck it out. New hire Stephen was initiated with his first table topic today, on why he’s not doing his dream job: lots of benefits but no $$$. Bert told us his boss is eccentric and difficult to deal with — completely the opposite of Corky’s boss, who is laid back, level-headed, and knows how to dodge a sexual harassment complaint!

Two people were working on the same project today: the third speech in the basic manual. David managed to Get to the Point pretty well although he admitted he barely managed to get to the meeting on time! Louis also “got to the point”, AGAIN, since he is going through the basic manual for a second time! Anyone who hasn’t finished their manual for the FIRST time should be motivated by Louis’s drive.

I already mentioned that Stephen Sharpe joined today, but so did another returning guest: Staci Livesay, who brought an enthusiastic entourage!! Can’t wait to hear your icebreakers!!!
