Today has been a rather strange day, strange I suppose cause the highlight was I was due to a meeting with a guy I had not met before and managed to walk into the wrong office, introduce myself and promptly give him a presentation that he had absolutely no idea what i was talking about. I was surprised he had not questions for me, given what I had just told him. I walked out thinking, that went OK straight into another guy who confirmed who I was and then said, werent we suppose to be meeting at 2.00 p.m. I said I have just done the meeting and he said, no that was with me. It turns out the the two guys who have offices next door to each other have the same first name and virtually the same second name only spelt slightly different. No wonder the first guy looked stunned by what I was telling him, I am not even sure he spoke English that well.
Anyways, the second meeting went well as I had managed to practice my presentation just 30 minutes earlier.
The other highlight of the day was taking my colleague to Calais to catch his train, which was easy enough, straight down the motorway and into the eurostar station and dropped him off. The coming home bit was a bit different, I have no idea what the hell the sat nav was doing but it managed to get me on every backroad between Calias and Dunkirk and at one point I think I was off road and wondered at some point if I had gone across some farmers field. In the pitch black it was like doing a night stage of a rally. Needless to say it took me ages to get back to the hotel and when I did I was a physical wreck. I suppose if I get lost in an office I had no chance on the road at night.
I am definately looking forward to tomorrow and my last day in the office for the week and next week I have another colleague coming over with me so it is a bit of company on the journey to and from Brussels.
Anyway that is all for now as I am going to have a well earned cup of tea and a catch up on the BBC I player before going to bed
Night All
