Tashman Dream: C.E.O. finally got me


Another Tashman Technologies dream-

I was on a "business trip" in Florida for Tashman. I recall being in various different motels trying to get 5 separate projects done. It was pretty stressful. I had the impression I was doing these jobs because CEO was somewhere else.

I was worried about not having all of the receipts for my expense report, in addition to trying to do the projects by myself with no support. There was one instance where I had to make a command decision, since I was unable to get a hold of anyone to help.

When I returned to headquarters (which was actually my mother's condo in Tamarac, albeit with different scenery) Christina, the Genie in the Bottle and CEO were there, asked me tough questions. The focus was on my expense report. I couldn't "prove" to him about my expenses. CEO was challenging my car rentals, motels, and food- even though I never even THOUGHT about taking advantage of them. Christina was on his side, totally. They began to second guess my command decision, and CEO began to rant and rave in another room with her.

I knew I had made a mistake by not filling out the paperwork; I internally accepted the blame, but was beginning to tire of the constant punishment here, and would admit nothing. So I finally went face to face with CEO. It was a closeup shot. I saw every small detail of his skin, eyebrows, and deep eyes. His eyes were mockeries of life. I wanted to shake him and hit him, but we just had a stare down. I told him and Christina I'd give them a blank check and just deduct whatever expenses they wanted, but Christina insisted I fill out the red folders correctly and do the paperwork for "fair play". They left, and since I had no receipts, it was impossible to do.

Bureaucracy will kill us all. Death by paperwork.
