Uodate: The work presentation did not go well (hexbear.net)

My coworker told me to put my presentation in OneDrive so she could do some edits. Never got those edits... but when I sent the file to the MC of the meeting (which they didn't tell me I had to do until I was literally about to step into the board room) it rolled back to an old version without warning. Burned through a lot of my presentation time trying to fix it before just going ahead with the unfinished version which had casual placeholders. I was thrown off and sweating and out of time and it was just not good. The board was nice and seemed to pity me but I know it was bad.

I had a moderate crash out on the way back to the office but my boss said not to worry about it so just trying to move past it.

Lesson learned: fuck OneDrive. I'd heard horror stories but didn't listen...

If both the board and your boss were nice about it, they probably already know you’re a competent worker and don’t give a shit about one bad day as they know you’ll your job done.

And if it helps to reframe, if your audience was a much higher rank than you and your boss, they’re so far removed from your work that they have bigger things to worry about than the specifics of one office drone.

Sounds like a relatively high performing and healthy organization, all in all (compared to the horrors I’ve seen and heard of). Best of luck!
