I had this crazy moment where I went to an awards ceromony for work. I was fairly new and we were all seated at long tables. Dressed in medieval wear. (Don’t ask). My name was called, and everyone started going mad, clapping, stamping, it was bizarre, I thought it was a joke. So I didnt stand up. All their faces were turned to me and looked odd, like everything was in slow motion. Because I didnt stand up I got shoved, off the bench. I nearly fell flat on my face.
See I was new in finance and didnt know my ass from my elbow. So it was a surprise to me I had won this award for bringing in the most investments in the country.
Now that was a real time stands still moment, I am still surprised to this day to be honest.
