Chapter 28: The Big Presentation That Turned Into Big Shame
After my acting career died painfully, I decided:
"Kelvin, maybe your real talent is in the corporate world!"
So at my new office job, I volunteered to give a major presentation to the entire company.
Big deal.
Big audience.
Big opportunity.
I worked hard:
Designed colorful slides.
Practiced my speech in front of the mirror (and my confused neighbor's cat).
Even wore my sharpest shirt — the one that made me look like I had real plans in life.
The day arrived.
Everyone gathered in the conference room.
The boss sat right at the front, smiling politely but definitely judging.
I connected my laptop to the projector.
First slide appeared:
> "Welcome to Kelvin's Strategy Presentation."
Beautiful.
Professional.
I clicked for the second slide.
That's when my village people remembered me.
Instead of my presentation, the projector started showing my personal photo gallery.
First photo:
Me wearing sunglasses... in my bathroom... flexing non-existent muscles.
Second photo:
A close-up selfie of me eating a suspiciously large turkey leg.
Third photo:
A motivational quote badly edited with Comic Sans font:
> "Don't quit. Suffer now and live like a king later."
— With a picture of me sleeping with my mouth wide open.
CHAOS.
The entire office BURST into laughter.
My boss removed his glasses and wiped imaginary tears.
I fumbled, pressed every button I could find, disconnected the laptop, prayed for instant rapture — but it was too late.
The only thing I successfully presented that day was my personal shame.
