Of Final Show Review II

Presentation Tips:

(1) DO NOT read every digit in your profit or any other figures that go before 4-digits or even 3 for that matter.. For example, for 93mil, do not read 8 freaking digits out one after another, instead, say something simple like "ninety-three million".. cause when you do, you look really stupid and you affect the morale of the folks who are presenting after you..

(2) DO NOT appear unenthusiastic when your team is the best performing team in the industry, that probably shows why you are least likely to score well for things like peer appraisal (i regret giving you decent scores, i really do, how i understand why peer evaluations in polytechnics are done at the end of the last day, thats to keep people like you in check)

(3) DO NOT make slides that read "WE ARE CHAMPIONS" when you have done well, you are supposed to be presenting to investors, not students and lecturer (well, this little problem was removed as soon as i saw it so i guess its ok).. so "WE ARE CHAMPIONS" make no sense to anyone.. instead, you should explain what you have done to deserve the being champion..

(4) DO NOT say that people have planned for you in a very very bad way.. e.g "we did not have to sell as many as our competitors in order to bring in the profits" in a impassive, detached manner, the sentence was supposed to make you and the company look smart and add that little cheekiness into your presentation, instead, you screw it up by delivering it flatly it almost sounded like we were arrogant and insulting towards the others.. selling less and making more is a strategic benefit that was developed because the team did enough to reduce cost... be proud of that move! You could have done this better! you just didn’t bother!!!

The old me would have blasted your head off for not caring, for not trying.. you suck big time mate, you are the weakest link and i regret treating you with too much respect.. you suck! May our paths never cross again..

But this new me is way nicer to do that to you scumbag.. this new me will try to keep harmony, to keep things going, to ensure that my fuse gets longer over the years and becomes less of a fire-hazard..

Alright, i had unleashed my frustrations at the final show.. the curtains did come down, but it fell straight on my face.. it didn't really matter if i presented well or not at the end.. it was quite a disastrous team outing.. 3 folks did the job, 1 didn't.. and that worse one had to start and kill whatever momentum we ought to have.. and it leaves people like me cold.. out in the cold over a presentation that could have been much much better.. out in the cold over a presentation that should have been a farewell to raeburn park

I took the weekend off, i had my rest, now its time to focus on the strag mark report and that final paper in november.. ORD loh!
