I was in the internal audit department, Ilana.

Can you imagine you and I being in the, but they said, no, we want creativity.

We want this, but they didn't.

But I heard a guy give a speech, the second in command at Oracle.

He said, I want to make this organization.

He was running most of the organization, the best company in terms of employee engagement and satisfaction.

And I was like, Ooh, I like that.

And I went to him and I actually pitched him.

I wrote a fictitious article in the Wall Street Journal.

I pitched him the job and I created a whole job.

And I said, this is what you should hire me to do this.

And he did.

Twenty four, three.

By the grace of God, it worked out.

I remember that day, it was a Friday afternoon, and we had our Christmas party in San Francisco.

And I had to leave, and I couldn't tell my boss why, because I was driving back down to headquarters down in Redwood Shores, you know where that is.

And I'll tell you, I had to pee so bad, and traffic was so bad, I thought I was gonna have to pull over and go to the bathroom on the median.

And I was like, I'm going to wet my pants or get arrested and never get to meet with this high ranking guy.

I get there.

I run to the restroom.
