Stacks' Webinar

A narrative.

so i'm running my webinar
which btw got 418 in attendance, i'm quite satisfied
and 5 minutes before start, this vp goes "as tradition dictates, i'm going to hand off my slide to stacks. stacks, you're now doing slide 6 now, alright?"
and this is how the conversation goes

me: "sure, no problem"
vp: "you gonna know what you're talking about?"
me: "yeah i know the products"
group head: "alright stacks you're on for slide 6! we're all going to evaluate you after"
me: "sure. vp, can you run me through the backstory - we have 5 minutes that should be enough"
vp: "hahaha you don't have to do slide 6 i'm just kidding! seriously i'm just joking"
group head: "haha stacks relax we're not gonna put you on the spot like that"
me: "yeah. i know you're kidding. what's funny is that you make it sound as though it's a difficult thing to do"
phone line --dead silence--
national team lead: "we've gotta get this guy up to chicago! stacks you wanna come to chicago for a week? we'll work it out with your mgr"
