Outspeak, Outstay, Out-Tripod

Went on a rampage this morning. The competitive gene just took over and ran amok. Managed to:

1. Get my hands on materials of the 2 persons speaking after me at the seminar and cover their topics as well;

2. Point out (in advance) some errors in their speaking material, so the listening audience knows what errors they are going to make this afternoon when they speak; and

3. Sit through the earlier speaker's entire presentation so that I could adjust the tone and pitch of my voice to sound more interesting than him. Also re-answered some questions from the audience that they had asked him.

I have to stop doing this. Am still obsessing about yesterday's lecture as well as this morning's speech. If I haven't stopped replaying and rephrasing everything in my head (including the jokes) by this evening, then I'm going to need a strong drink (or three).

Gah!!! Just remembered there was one joke where the audience failed to laugh.
