  I'm giving a talk in a few days, and it's not written yet. While not the best practice, this is rather standard for me, except that I'm usually more nervous by now. I tend to rely on that nervous energy to get me through the last big push on a presentation. And I'm just not feeling it. I don't know if my lack of concern stems from a more objective analysis of this forum (I mean, it's an in-house research showcase, for cryin' out loud) -- or is my apathy a pervasive condition?
