Given the option skip intro is always the option.
Sounds like The Director is over on the other side of the floor working his way toward my neck of the woods. He only does the pilgrimage once a year so it comes across as more than a little insincere.
Regardless, I’m glad I heard him. I should have just enough time to get into putting off that “I totally don’t mean it but I want you to know I think you’re the very best thing since sliced bread” mode.
Or I could just lower my chair till it hits the stops, hunch down, and hope he doesn’t see me. If I don’t establish eye contact I won’t have to engage, right?
We’ll see how it plays out.
Be here or be gone.
