Tooting My Own Horn
The budget presentation is finally over! At noon yesterday, the CIO suggested that I lead the presentation (the presentation was at 1:30 pm yesterday). I was a bit taken aback, as I had not been preparing to do that, but agreed to it nevertheless. Much to my surprise, the CIO started off the presentation announcing that it was my official debut as the new chief finance person for Technology. It was a surprise because no one had actually informed me that I was being promoted into the position. But it was a good surprise.
Overall, the meeting went well. I thought I did poorly, but I was the only one who thought so. The Head of North American operations, who didn't know me from a hole in the wall before, came up to me afterwards and said "Great presentation, Lesley. Very clear." Everyone else complimented me as well. So I'm psyched. Exhausted, but psyched. I got home last night and crashed completely. Woke up around 1 pm today. A week of working until after midnight will do that to you. Now I'm off to dinner. Have a great night, everyone!

Having read your devastatingly clear analyses of economic and financial issues for a couple of years, I am not surprised at all!
Congrats. And what Mom said!
