I had something very important this afternoon (yeah, I know Sunday is a weird day for it) where I was required to be taken seriously and as THE authority and not just an authority.
I felt like I was starting to get a handle on how A314 works so I went with 2 drops of A314 to the neck (either side) and 3 drops split between the tops of my hands. (A lot, I know but I was looking to really make an impression or go down in flames trying.) Still no self effects, however. I move my hands A LOT when I get talking so I figured that would be a better method of diffusion. It really did seem to work. The afternoon went better than I could have hoped. 
I did have a funny hit about 5 hours after application where I was walking into a store and an 18 year old young woman nearly got whiplash as I passed her standing at the ATM by the door. Then I notice she’s in every isle I’m in getting closer each time. As I’m checking out the Halloween Candy (damn Russell Stover chocolate pumpkins) she starts chatting me up. If she wasn’t literally half my age I’d have considered letting her pick me up.
I noticed something that made me rethink what others called respect hits. I’m not sure what I was expecting by respect but I noticed today something that I’ve been experiencing since I’ve been wearing A314 but I’ve been thinking of them as ‘awe’ hits. Just people staring like a VIP just went passed, more like ‘Woah, is that him? Wow, it IS him!’ It was wild. Apparently I’d been getting responses all along from A314 and just not recognizing it.
My only concern today was for things to go smoothly and A314 definitely helped in that area.
