"What the hell am I doing here…"
My mind was filled with doubts and my heart cringing to death in what was sure to be the lowest moment of my life when it came to public embarrassment.
Despite all the drama and build-up leading to it, the FTAP announcement on Friday passed without any surprises. The whole project team gathered in the main meeting room before the announcement, except Director Jin the Project Manager, and a small crew who had to attend the announcement meeting with the Committee. But as expected, it was all just a formality and I received a call from Director Jin as soon as it became official, and upon my announcement to the room everyone jumped up and there was a massive eruption of cheer, patting on the back, and high-fives.
Champaigns for all, toast by Hina, some more silly chanting - all the good stuff. These are the moments that people like us live for.
