Went to my first meeting of The Economist Business Challenge team last night. We were three. Until then, poor Doug, already having to deal with this whole Air Canada crap, was coaching one person. The rest of the potential candidates having whimped out after the first meeting.
Going in, I was a little apprehensive. As I mentioned here a few weeks ago, my memory ain't what it used to be. My chief concern was that these days it was in one ear and out the other, like when HCW™ is talking to me. (OK, that wasn't a nice example... hehe :-)
Surprise, surprise, I actually did pretty well last night. Only marginally off my performance for around the same time last year, and with a whole lot less practising to boot (well actually no practising...). Sam Waksal, Erbitux, Nobuyuki Idei, Peter Mackay, Junichiro Koizumi, Jean–Claude Bébéar, etc. All somehow came to mind, which freaked me out and probably frazzled the other guy. Oh well. What fun ! Can't wait to take on the other teams and collect my bottle of Inniskillin as I pass Go!. 'Nuff said.
PS: Today we get paid. I mean PAID.

So how did you like it ? Did I make you proud? An unwashed Angl heathen among the Quebecois glitterati ?
Did I look tense, too focused ?
hehe
