Ispokereallyreallyfastatthestart

Last week, I was again... working in my one person team... juggling the never-ending-always-occuring problems and issues. At 12 noon before I was heading out to lunch, 'The Absolute Retard I Report To' comes over and says she has a quick question. She says "You know how Mr CEO is here... they want you to do a presentation for him... Mr Director wants you to do it... Mr Wanker did a presentation for Mr MD before.. but Mr Wanker is actually away today... so they want you to present to Mr CEO" She adds "Yea.. so can you please prepare something for us at 1.30pm - to go thru what you plan to present? You will present to Mr CEO at 4pm"

WTF.

I freaked out. But reassured myself it was OK.

I hate how she worded it that just because Mr Wanker is away today, I was the Plan B. She sorta emphasized how it was such a bummer he was not at work because otherwise, they would've asked him instead of me. But whatever. She thinks of me as a threat - what she doesn't realise is that I don't even want her crappy job.

So finally at 4pm, I had the CEO next to me. And another 3 bosses... and 'The Absolute Retard I Report To' standing behind me - to make sure I didn't say something stupid.... something like.... you know how this system we are operating at the moment is world class, popular and famous, none of my direct bosses even know how to use it.

I started off nervous. Sydney boy (who flew down for the day) was keeping an eye on me the entire time. Apparently Ispokereallyreallyfastatthestart. But after a few mins, I calmed down and he said it went really well.
