Atop the pedestal.

I work in a very sales-driven, performance oriented environment, which means that during the good times you are fairly happy and during the bad times you want to tie two ton boulders to your balls and take a swan dive off the Golden Gate bridge.

When your numbers are good, you are put on a pedestal; when your numbers are bad you might as well be invisible. It's like a training ground for a giant manic-depressive army. I closed another deal this week, so for a brief shining moment I am atop the pedestal once more. And while I intend to enjoy the rarefied air of being a dealmaker for at least another 24hrs, I know it's a fleeting pleasure. So it's back to the hunt, old chap!

Need sleep!!!!!!!!!!!
