Worst meeting you've been in?
Week 29 Group Rant

The worst tech day if my life... In terms of broken things.

I went to London... For a meeting with a new client.

I missed the train being me I made sure I got the early one so I could get another if I missed it...

1st tech fail, the machine didn't print off my tickets just the receipt which is why I was late

Got to London thought I'd try uber I didn't want to be late...

25 minutes till destination ... Ok

2nd tech fail... Was 45 minutes 😔

Now I'm 10 minutes late!

So I rush out of the uber to try and get to the meeting ....

3rd tech fail 😔 I drop my laptop ... Screen was ok I got lucky .

Went to meeting it was in a coffee shop ! I was alone meeting 5 people in this charity.

This company didn't occur to them I'd need internet to show them websites 😐

4th tech fail no internet

Needless to say I didn't get the job. Sad because I would of done a good job . At least I got to chill in London. For a few hours.

They put me on a hot seat as such all asking me questions

I was 19 terrified stressed. And it's only been a year... I'm doing the same tomorrow!

Fingers crossed

    Those scenarios used to scare me a lot, it seems so insignificant looking back on all the prospective client meetings I mucked up but at the time I thought my career was over.

    Good luck tomorrow! 😁

    I did a 'Good Luck Dance' around a camp fire on your behalf. Waved some palm leaves around for effect.

    The coffee should taste better tomorrow.

    @FitzSuperUser Advice 1: Uber in London center is never to be used (unless after a night out). Public transport is ironically fast thanks to all the traffic.
    Advice 2: thetrainline with mobile tickets. When you're not using an Oyster card, us it!

    You sound like you have all your shit together, maybe you should of just hit up your phone as a hot spot... but then again you are not a problem solver, your a wordpress plugin installer. It's a good thing you have your own company now... no more stressful interviews.
