A funny conversation with my GM

So last night I stayed back late to finish off a project - I had tons of materials to read through before I could form my own analysis & develop my proposal and the deadline was end of this week! Whilst discussing the matter with one of my colleagues, my GM came to join our discussion. Except, she wasn't really interested to talk about work. Instead, she point-blank asked me about my future plan. This was how it went last night...

GM:   So, your boss told me about your MBA plan – are you going to resign?

Me:    Erm, I don't want to resign but the HR dept asked me to resign!

GM:   Oh, them...

Me:    Yes, them. But if you allow, I would like to apply for my 12-month unpaid leave entitlement. 

GM:   Yea, ok. That can work but do I need to keep you in your position? Can I hire someone else to fill in your position while you're gone?

Me:    Oh, I don't know. You can do whatever you want with my position, it's your decision - according to the HR people, ha ha ha.. but if possible, I don't want to cut tie with this company lah, although I'm committed to my post-MBA career goals, a lot (of things) can happen between now and then... 

GM:   So, where are you going to? Bile you nak pergi ni (when are you leaving, again)?

Me:    Oh, about that - I haven't even gotten a firm offer yet! That's why I don't want to say anything yet... but I applied to Kellogg, Stanford, Wharton, and HBS.

GM:   Eh, can you please go to Stanford so that my friends and I can go visit you? It's so nice in California, then we all can go lepak at your place. Chicago and Philly are too cold...

Me:    Erm... yea sure, let me call Stanford...>.> 

If only it was totally up to me to decide where to go for my MBA...

Dear Stanford GSB Admission,

Can you make my boss' wish come true?
