Cold cocked
8:55 Am "Robert can you sit in on this conference call at 9?
Erm okay..dunno how prepared I can be in four and half minutes.
Then the Swedes proceeded to ask me detailed questions about volume, percentages and targets etc for the next hour+. This is classic corporate skull fuck, the Swedes don't know I had four minutes notice and only the slightest hint of what the topic would be. So you awkwardly have to stall, buy time, and explain that you were not invited to the meeting until moments earlier.
After several weeks of carrying around a good attitude, I'm finding my way back to the more comfortable role of conscientious objector.

Do you ever get to go to Sweden? You ought to try to work that out. I bet it's nice there.
I'm supposed to later this year, but I may not be allowed to leave the country after I unleash my vengeance...did I say that out loud?
