This is the part of me that only certain people know of. MO is one of them. Midget is the other. And Din and Fique. This is where I jot down my thoughts, my feelings. And right now, I feel exposed. Why, you may ask? I've just told a colleague of this blog! Damn it! I hope she keeps to her words... This is part of my sanctuary.
Let me jot down what transpired. It all started last week. A colleague, let's call her M (as in M of 007). She emailed me last week, telling me that she wanted to do a video clip on my profile. This was what she wrote:
" As part of the new company website being developed, we’ve been asked by CEO to include a few individual staff profiles in the form of 30 sec videos. We’re going to start with 2-3 first, then put more up to populate the website as time passes and the website is in regular use.
We’d really like to feature you as one of the pilot profiles on the website. If you are agreeable, could I steal an hour of your time to have a conversation with you about yourself in order to get some ideas as to how we might want to approach your profile?"
And I replied, "Let’s discuss this."
So, we went to lunch today. I actually wanted to discuss with her if it is a good idea to feature me in the video. But, alas, it wasn't to be!
She went straight to the offensive and asked me questions on my background, my aspirations for the company and her probing questions were tactful. By the end of the "discussion" she stripped me bare! Damn!
And yes, she's quite a looker and a charmer... That was it! She charmed me! I was charmed! Let me leave you with this song by Alison Moyet...
