It was fine, I'm just laughing about it inside now, instead of stressing.
I can point out small things here and there to the missus without coming over all apostate.
I can wear my bushy beard with pride, despite the looks.
I can strengthen my critical thinking skills during the sessions and in my note taking.
I can support my wife in her hobby and social life despite thinking it's all bull.
I can actually catch up with some mates during the sessions too.
All in all, not too bad a day. It was interesting actually seeing and hearing a member of the gb give a talk. And hearing the audience fawning over every tiny joke ("ooh he's so HUMAN, he has a sense of humour and EVERYTHING ") personally I thought it was very average, not very coherent, bit of a mish mash of a talk. Even now, with what I know, I expected something outstanding, after all he's one of the EIGHT people on earth god deals with directly, right?
