So this post is not what you think it's about.
I really admire Mr. J for so many reasons. Professionally, he has really taken things to the next level. His stuff is tight! I hope that at minimum we can remain lifetime friends because there is so much that I could learn from him. He and are are in basically the same profession for all practical purposes except that he is a well seasoned professional and I am umm...a broke student.
Mr J is an executive at a very large, well known Fortune 100 (Fortune 50?)company and I am proud to say that he recently won a very prestigious company wide award. Yea Mr J! Go Mr J! The problem is that on the day he is supposed to receive the award he is also scheduled to give a presentation at the American Academy of Ophthalmology conference. I just did a paper (remember that last minute paper) on the same subject that he was going to talk about. He told me that he was frantically looking for someone to replace him at the meeting and things weren't looking to good. So what did I do? I offered to do his presentation for him! I actually really wanted to go to this conference in New Orleans (but alas the beer budget). Doing a talk at the conference would be a really really good resume builder for me and I would have a bazillion networking opportunities and... it's New Orleans for goodness sake!!!!! I am sooooooo excited! It is going to take a lot of paperwork and scrambling to get things done by next Tuesday. I really hope that we can make it happen. Emeril Lagasse here I come! I will keep you updated!
Important question (ie. feedback needed)
What should I do this weekend to help Mr J celebrate his prestigious award?
