Last week, I had to take a business trip for my company that was of utmost importance for our company’s future.
I was going to be a leading spokesperson during the meetings, so I was more than a little bit stressed out about my presentation.
The last couple of nights leading up to the business trip we’re rough for me. I didn’t get all that much rest. I had a considerably long road trip ahead of me, so I left Monday morning with a generous amount of coffee in my hand as I navigated the highways to the city where I would be presenting. I drove throughout the entirety of that day and was almost to my destination by early evening. However, I was exhausted and I really wanted to find a hotel immediately, even if it was outside the city I was going to. With luck, I found a decent one, and the air conditioning in my room was divine! I was so exhausted and I cranked the thermostat as low as it would go. The blasting cold air almost single-handedly swept my worries away. I was so tired and the room felt so comfortable. I decided I didn’t care anymore about the presentation and what will be will be. It wasn’t fair on me to have so much stress, just because my company was relying on me. I’m only human! Before long, the comfortable bed and powerful air conditioning made me pass out. I had even forgotten to set an alarm. It’s a good thing the cleaning people woke me up, because it was time to get moving again!
