Great job,congratz!
Don't mind the presentation in the meeting, it's purpose isn't to present things realistically, it's advertisement.
And listen to your boss, learn to deal with unrealistic deadlines in a way that won't lead to you burning out. Luckly, there are great advices and rants here on that topic. -

And no hassle at all when you have a well trained IT slave
