I was about to sit in an eight o’clock pre-prod meeting with a new client

and even before my ass could touch my seat,

“This better be a good meeting because I have seen everything and nothing will impress me at this point.” says the mid 20-year-old girl who apparently is the client, but not the owner.

Stunned, I quickly whispered something to my graphic designer and she complied.

These were my thought balloons at that moment:

1. “Hindi pa mainit ang silya ko, may taray factor na.”
2. “Girl, 20’s ka palang, you’ve seen everything na?”
3. “Aba, talo mo pa ang mga scholars na nagsasabing,

“There is still so much to learn and discover..”

• “Parang gusto kong padapain siya at gamitan ng sinturon.”
• “Bitter ka ba girl or are you trying to prove your inefficiency???”

Then she looks at me, with a little respect and asks; “What do you have?”

“Good Morning! (in my usual high happy tone)

It’s nice to meet you too. You are in luck!”, I started.

My presentation today is entitled…

YOU MIGHT THINK YOU HAVE SEEN EVERYTHING, BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE!…”

I turned my laptop to show the title card of my presentation

and projected it on the wall.

(This is what I secretly told my assistant to do, change the title card fast!)

She was frowning the whole time, she was posturing.

She even acted like it was not interesting at all,

but eventually asked if I could leave my presentation.

I declined.

If I don’t get this, I don’t care.

I can’t work with someone who has something stuck up her ass and has so much insecurities. If I do get this project, well, she will only take the credit.
