Some of the details are confidential, but I just couldn't contain the pressure so I need to vent some of the story.
I was summoned last Aprill 22 from a deep sleep because the head of our company and in turn, the medical group wants to meet me. This literary almost had me falling off the bed. Why in the world would the big cheese want to meet me?! I had an intolerable headache from lack of sleep, fatigue and hunger but I know I had to make it to office before the time they told me to be there. To my surprise the company driver was waiting outside. WTF? This really had me paranoid. Did my boss finally found a way to cripple my career? Did I mishandle a patient, a client or even a transaction that made the whole company look bad and thus I am being summoned? Did I run over his pet? So I got in, and rode with a thousand things running through my mind.
When I got there, I met the big cheese in his thousand dollar suit in the big board room. We were not alone. 1 Executive was there, and a coordinator was there. Again, WTF is this? Being the businessman that he is, he wasted no time in explaining what he wanted me to do: a presentation. I asked him why me. Of all the talented employees in the company, why me? He remembered an impressive presentation I made with my previous company, but to my account, that was just a frigging power point presentation!!!! So... basically he wanted me to do the same thing or better. I said fine... no big deal... a template here and there, few animations and voila, easy win. Noooo... he just had to put more weight on my shoulder. I am going to present this for another country so he can open a BIG, multi million branch of our medical group there and I am to impress... one of the members of the royal family..... My heart, my brain and most of my intestines wanted to leap everywhere in the room right there and then.....
This project ran till today. I am soooooooooooooooooo glad it's over. After a hundred revisions, he finally liked what he was seeing, took it in a CD ROM and offered me two things: one, if this goes well, expect a promotion and head the company in that country and two, if this fails expect me to come back, revise this and come with him so I could present it myself (he just asked the for the materials, he's going to present my work himself but it's basically me feeding him info through that PPP).
So.... now I am in a dilemma.... if this succeed I do NOT WANT to move there. More over... I DO NOT WANT to head a company!!!! That's too much responsibility!!! I do not want grow 100 years older in 1 day running that scheme!!! But hell.... it pays big... big time... but still.. aaaaarggggh!..... I love California... Arnold help me. Ok, let's say this fails... is he going to continue to bust my nuts till he gets it the right way and drag me to that ....that... place?!
Help?! :cafinated:
