[stilleto]

a while ago i thought i'd lose my job. cutbacks.

i'm no longer worried.

3 weeks ago, i was in charge of putting together a presentation for our annual industry conference. I worked late every night, getting it perfect. Between that, and all the promotions I did- our presentation was the highest attended presentation ever. We got leads from MAJOR major corporations, including most of the largest pharmaceutical companies, and petroleum companies.

Last week I had to put together another presentation for the president of Panasonic Corporation. I was given 1 day, and stayed at work till 10pm to get it done, got home by 11pm, and had to be at work at 9am the next day, in a suit, ready to go with the exec. team to present it.
Afterwards, in the parking lot, my boss had tears in his eyes and said he's never been so proud of his team before and that we were all amazing. (he hugged me, which he's now getting into the habit of doing)

I thought I could relax a bit, but yesterday he called an emergency meeting and said i'm not in charge of a new project, due by wed. at noon, which involves of course another presentation (this time it's for the president of tigerdirect),
plus huge changes to our websites.

so
a. i'm now a powerpoint expert, but i seriously make kickass presentations.
b. I got a raise.
c. my boss is ready to lick between my toes if i ask him to.

of course, i'm totally exhausted and stressed and can't stop thinking of everything as little mini powerpoint animations.

Well congratulations. Hard work in your case has definitely paid off. Now get a drink and kick back and get some downtime in. Maybe treat yourself to something you have always wanted?

 

[superqt4u2nv]

Eww Tigerdirect

 

[Smurfy]

[stilleto]

[UA_Iron]

You know they attribute some of NASA's decline on the use of powerpoint.

But good work - you get any discounts through tigerdirect?

Which pharmaceuticals?

[PhoenixS]

Nice job! It feels good to know your boss thinks your awesome and that you do a kick ass job. I bet your boss likes to hug you too.

seems like a bought a refurbished digital camera from them a couple yrs ago ... something like $350 camera for $60.

still works fine

 

[bigtravis]

Powerpoint sucks but lickin between the toes sounds aaaight.

 

[jackangel]

Good work. I hope the stress is worth it. If it is now, it won't be indefinitely. Also, your boss will turn around and treat you like shit at some point, because he's a mentally unstable jackass. All of this came to me in a dream. You look attractive in your avatar.

I'm eating a banana.

one of my good friends from college was in a similar situation. . .he quickly became the golden-child of the company he went to work for (large regional trucking company) a few years ago. . .over the last couple of years, he has been put in charge of more and more pieces of the company. . .last year he was put in charge of his own separate corporation. . .now, due to the serious and extended economic downturn, he's in charge of winding down the operations of that corporation including, presumably, furloughing himself when he's done. . .these are strange economic times. . .oh well, he's getting paid damn good money to build his own gallows

You meant "now", right? He did give you another big product, or you're glad he didnt b/c the last was stressful?


Also, you should be making BIG bucks. That's some hardcore shiz you do.

Ah well that make sense.

oh, yeah, i meant NOW.
i'm now in charge of another big project.

at one point he said he wanted me to take the presentation i make, and turn it into a video that plays on our website.
I said I'd need our programmer to do it, and it would take a few days.
He said, "then you'll have to do it."

uh, i don't know how to do that.
he said, "i have faith in you."

turns out, it's easy.

I'm guessing that you meant that you're NOW in charge.
