Today was the day I was to present to Jim(Owner of LS) the Digital Signage project! I was super nervous/excited. I got into the office at 830 and Wade(sponsor) and I talked over some of the things that we would discuss with Jim. He informed me that this was going to be very laid back, and no matter how well I did that it most likely would not have an effect on the outcome, which was sort of a relief and helped make me less nervous about the whole thing. At 9 we drove over to Jim's office and Wade and I pitched the project to him, telling him the logistics of it and answering any questions he had. Wade assisted me through out the whole thing and helped back me up on some of the information I presented for Jim, which was nice to have him there to fill in gaps. At the end Jim told me I did really well getting all the information to him and presenting it to him, that made me feel really proud of all the work I've put into the project. To our disappointment though, he still hasn't approved the project. Wade had warned me about that though, so I was kind of expecting it. It still sucks though to have put all this time into it, and having it put on a stand still until Jim finally approves it. This project has been a great learning experience for me in very many different ways. It has helped me to research projects to get information and to be able to organize information I get for it to make since to others. Also, when trying to pitch a project, you have to go into it like you know for a fact it's going to happen, that is the only way you will give it 110% the whole way through. That's how I treated this project, but it still is really disappointing to not get it approved right away.
