Like a Mad Hatter's Tea Party

Picture this: formal dinner at the Tower Club boardroom (33rd Floor, Philamlife Building, Makati). Five senior managers of the company, 2 senior consultants, 1 senior strategic planner, 3 members of the company's board of directors, our company's Country Chairman and myself (the low-corporate-lifeform-among-them).

When everyone took their seats, I found myself being seated at the head of the table. Jokingly, the Country Chairman remarked that he gives me financial authority for dinner.

It was an opportunity of a lifetime -- to be at a pedestal identified with authority and power -- even if it was just a gag for our group.

Just my day's two cents.
