This is a true story! I JUST got off the phone with my brother who works for VW as a regional marketing consultant. He is just getting ready to go into a dealer meeting and related this to me.
When he opened his suitcase this morning after packing and traveling yesterday, he realized that he'd mistakenly packed a pair of shoes that don't match. He said they were kind of close....but sure not the same. And, it's the only pair of shoes he brought. And, he's 200 miles from his home near Atlanta.
But it gets better. They are both left feet! So, as I am talking to him he's getting ready to go into an important meeting with two shoes on his feet that don't match and are both the left foot!
He says that fortunately his pants are kind of long. But, I am laughing and wondering what anyone will think if they notice. Pity? Sympathy [this poor guy must have as club foot or some deformity]? Will they try and hold back the snickers?
I assure you that I am going to be much more careful in my packing and business meeting preparation from now on.
On a serious note, I always carry two different formats of any digital presentation on two different storage devices plus paper copies plus the presentation stored out on the web at You Send It or on Google docs.
I am still chuckling about the shoes. So check yours today too.
