As I was coming back from lunch earlier, I received a phone call from my imoto-san. In her high-pitched excited voice, she asked me to go onto the Media magazine website and on it, I found the most unbelievable news of the year!!!
"Seah set to replace Singh in MindShare Singapore."
OMG!!! I couldn't believe what I saw!! There had been rumours about my CEO's plans to leave, but he brushed them away. Then all of a sudden, these rumours were confirmed and the biggest shock of all... my ex-boss: the boss that opened the doors of media to me, the boss that I respect, the boss that was genuinely concerned about my constipation problem, the boss that never fails to remember my birthday after all these years, the boss that I go to for any advice, the boss that became a friend.. he's gonna be my boss again!!! OMG... I don't seem to be writing coherently!! I'm soooo excited!!
Suddenly, I feel like I'm gonna fight harder, work harder and just give more! Suddenly, I feel a sense of belonging that I've never felt over the last 13 months! I'm amazed at the impact that this piece of news had on me. Even though I had mixed feelings at some point. I mean Jeff is so iconic, he's almost synonymous with Starcom. But anyhow, personally, I'm excited about having him here as CEO!! Renee and I were just so excited about this... It's funny how we're probably the minority in the office who felt like that. Most were just extremely upset that our CEO is leaving. Well, it's not that we don't like our CEO.. he's a great boss, a great man! But it's just not the same, if you know what I mean...
Looking forward to the new year already!
yes!!! one-san, i totally understand what u mean!
