It's hard to describe the very mixed emotions I am going through right now. I am as prepared for Friday's vote as I ever can be and squeaky clean but I still need to settle down as I am very edgy and shaky about it all. I cannot lose the vote but I am going to have to deal with this bloke who's making my life hell (or maybe I am making my own life hell thinking about it). Back in the day I would probably have looked at his cold dark eyes and mentioned that I could see all the way to his cold black heart but hey, not now, I have to be professional and balanced and that is perhaps it. Back in the day, when I used to deal with such stuff day in day out I'd be able to say stuff like that and trade insults all day long and generally be OK with it all unless one of my stupid bosses were involved when I'd let them do all the talking, bury themselves deeper and I'd go pick up the pieces with the customer afterwards.
This is different and I should know better but it's the culmination of around 6 months of this sort of thing. I'm having to prepare a lot because this bloke is being "Mr. Angry" and it's been unpleasant and so whilst I think when people see you eye to eye in the same room they usually calm down I worry that this guy has been quite irrational so far. Quite cowardly too hiding behind solicitor's letters and so on but now he's had to bring this to a special meeting that only he can attend (or can he?) and I need to be on my game so that the procedure is adhered to. He likes to use the rules to throw the bombs.
Because he appears to be irrational and indeed his actions and words are conflicted. He no longer wanted any communication and then complains when I have not contacted him for example. So many of these statements made and then feigned surprise that he hasn't received things he himself expressly ordered not to happen.
His cohort of shareholders have gone along with him and of course he "gifted" them their shares but not one of them has looked in detail at the evidence to arrive at their vote. None of them have looked at the financial impact if they were to succeed either, if you make a regime change then there had better be a compensation package. Of course there isn't, it's a vindictive, vexatious, getting even type action. I'm not dealing with business people either so it's all just some sort of action without consequence to them.
I'm just though processing all sorts of things and trying to deal with my over analysis in my head. I know that I should trust the process. I know what to do and how to do it, I think it is the worry of dealing with amateurs and their reaction to them losing the vote quite heavily on Friday.
