Motivational speaker

I have nothing against you, really.

But when I have five papers to write, a research project to complete, interviews to transcribe, and a CD to review, along with working as a guy laying out copy this weekend, the last thing I want is for you to tell me how I can be a better leader.

Seriously, trying to engage me tonight is like engaging a rock with a TV show. Stop trying.

And yet, you're persistent. You don't give up, convinced that you can entertain and educate me. I don't care. I don't think you can. I don't know how you found this gig (maybe just by talking to someone, and finding a funder that thought you were cool because he was in a good mood that day), but don't bring it to me.

All I care about is having some free time to do what I need to do. There's a time an a place to motivate me, and it's not now.
