The opposite of relaxing

The company I work for is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. No biggy, lots of companies are that big. We’re presently up for sale. A number of prospective buyers have expressed interest, and are starting to pay visits to assess the company and make decisions. On Friday, I got an e-mail telling me to prepare a presentation. Then today at lunchtime, as I choke down my last Pringle, here they come; 30 people wearing a million dollars worth of suits, looking over their glasses and waiting for me to explain how I do what I do. Amongst the prospective buyers were the president of my company and all his Veeps. Anyways, I started yammering professionally, then they started asking questions, and I answered them. They smiled and nodded approvingly, then thanked me and continued down the hall……….wheeeeeew. This group represented only one possible buyer, there are many yet to come.

I found the experience to be the opposite of relaxing
