I'm sick, and naturally I have a presentation today

[superconductor]

So here's the deal: I hardly slept a wink last night because I was coughing my head off. Awoke way too early this morning and have a fine set of Samsonite luggage underneath my eyes.

 

In just over two hours, I have to do a presentation for a local organization, and I feel like absolute crapola.

 

I've already decided to suck it up and just make the presentation, but I'm curious what others think.

 

Do you think I should go and:

1. Spread disease, death and general nastiness;
   
2. Put my credibility, such as it is, in danger because my brain hurts; and,
   
3. Screw up the presentation so badly that people won't be able to wait to get out of there?
   

or

1. 
    
   
2. Just do it and damn the consequences;
    
   
3. Before I start, tell the collected victims - er, participants - that I'm not at 100% today; and,
    
   
4. Get it over with as quickly as possible?

Thankfully, I survived and the whole episode seemed to go pretty well.

 

The great thing about being a training facilitator is that the group does most of the work. All I had to do was basically stand there and let them do their thing.

 

And cough.

 

And cough.

 

And cough.

 

Strangely, no one wanted to shake my hand after the session was over.
