Conference

Monday morning was hectic. I had a conference to attend at 8:00 in the morning and even at 6:30 my packing was yet to be done. Then there was the trouble of finding exactly where the hotel was located. As expected, I got lost and in the end got to follow one of my colleagues’ orange coloured car that I managed to spot.

Conference went well. On the first day, I was dressed in cream colour dreamy top and black trousers. I am a conservative dresser, and I guess I just blended in with the 57 people who were there. Nothing much that stands out for the first day other than that I smoked quite a lot and drank more than two glasses (of hard liquor). The only highlight that I can think of is Big Boss announcing my transfer as the Account Manager of the smaller 5 clients. A few people congratulated me, others gave me the knowing smile that they knew I was not happy with this transfer. And I had this permanent semi smile plastered on my face.

The next day, my dear friend and colleague JM decides to tell Big Boss that he wants to leave the company as he has secured a seat at a journalism course. Now JM holds a pretty important position in the department and goes to Europe to network all the time. And guess what, Big Boss asks me first whether I would like to take up that position and gives me exactly two days to think about it!!
