SO LOST!!

Good Morrning Desi Loge! Okay i hope im not boring you with my talking but no can do, if you know me or if you dont know but have visited my blog then you gotta read it! ;)

I used to tell my husband meetings are "FUN" but not this time...I was telling you about the two scheduled meetings I had. The first meeting went well they had asked us for a proposal and called me twice to come and get the deal signed without further delay. Yeyyy! im going to get this deal...is what im thinking in my mind. I was thrilled but then, it turns out that this desi chain of hotels owned by a desi has been doing a lot of hiring since he's expanding his business and to his team he hired a Brand and Marketing Manager. The irony of it was that I had gone to get a deal instead i'm back to square one. Trying to stay calm and trying to show the enthusiasm of explaining everything from the beginning. Under my skin im boiling out of anger and keeping a fake smile on my face. I could never do that before but im learning each passing day.

Convinced now she asked for another revised proposal, I say "that sounds great, we shall do that for you". Another hope for a deal to happen.

The temperature is 47 degrees and im melting rushing towards my car. Next meeting is in Jebel Ali. Thats like on the way to Abu Dhabi and you would know if you have ever had to visit someone there. Gosh, the employees of the company dont even know the directions to the place where they go everyday...so im lost...im calling my husband to get directions, im calling my office to ask for the map online. Im out of credit and asking my office support to call me in every 5 mins to find out if i have reached the place or not. Then one of my collegue looks up the place in google earth zooming in and guiding me to go left and then right and then take a bridge that goes to the other side ..man...the cars honking on the freeway driving at a speed of 120 - 130 . People are cursing me for sure...God help me please...Im soo stuck ..so i ask a taxi driver the directions and follow his directions...Im in Dubai Motor City on emirates road...nothing i was told lead me the right way...Ive been all over Dubai ...if only i was sight seeing it would have been great.

Finally my husband calls just to check....My Life saver ...! Anyway he gets me to Sheikh Zayed road which is the prime road of Dubai. Im back on track but 10 mins late for the meeting. Im screaming "im not going to drive out anywhere anymore...im not doing anything and not meeting anywhere...im not even driving back home..

Gosh so stressed out....ITs a ....TOTURE..u cannot imagine in your wildest dreams what i had gone through or maybe you can if you ever had to go to jebel ali !! So now i call up the client sir i wont be able to make it as i cant find your office you can go ahead with you next meeting at 4 and maybe we can meet some other day. The client says " no , no that meeting also got cancelled ...LOL n im sure it got cancelled because of that very reason..!

The saying "So close yet so far"...fits to the situation pretty accurately. WOw writing about it made me sick again..should take a break!! YOu guys chillax!!
