I had a "Big meeting" last week. It went more like

1/2 day of adjusting the deck, a dry run, tweaks, feedback, wow I'm doing great this meeting is going to go great I'm so prepared!

10 minutes after meeting starts.... Important individual: "Let me stop you right there", boss takes over meeting, meeting details.

1/2 day of anxiety about how I did my best and it still wasn't enough, and also how "Important individual" is an asshole and really just didn't give a shit about the meeting in the first place. And to be clear... THEY REQUESTED THE MEETING WTF?!?!

You just can't win sometimes.
