I went to Nottingham last Wednesday. After four years in the company I was finally invited to go to one of this major events called 'Annual Conference' where you meet all those people you normally speak over the phone with and you get to see first hand how professional we can look like. We could say it's a bonding experience at work.
I knew by heart the whole schedule so I was ready (and somehow excited and curious) at around 11.30 to welcome a stranger on stage. He was coming to talk to us about 'evolution'. In Spanish we have a say that reads 'what was first, the egg or the hen?' and, for two hours, I could only stare at him and think 'I am going to have to admit that life can be hilarious sometimes...'.
This guy comes on stage and starts talking. And the more he talks the more I feel he is talking to me (well, that's why he is a professional :)). At some point he was able to make me stand up and start dancing with 300 people while being conscious that I was being filmed (I could see myself on a huge screen on the stage). A bit later I was pretending to be at Wembley singing my best song to my one person special crowd while she was telling me how awful I was doing. And I still laughed.
What the hell? If I'm a disaster let's at least laugh about it for a second...
