Today was a total write off as only two of the supposed nine members of the meeting arrived. We waited for an hour, declared the meeting void and here I am back at the hotel. Thousands of miles flown, a weekend away from the family and so far I have had one meeting that lasted 45 minutes and the wasted time today that lasted 1 hour with coffee included.
Even though I get paid I cannot help feeling the frustration of wasted money and opportunity to progress projects.The only people that benefit from this inefficiency is KLM and Hilton and neither are need of development money.
I am sitting here in the roof top area of the hotel trying to enjoy the last of the evening sun and convince myself that this is nice and it doesn’t matter. But it does and I am pissed about it. The meeting today was supposed to launch a whole series of other meetings that we cannot progress this week.
I am going to drink my coke and try to get a flight home tomorrow because there seems little point in being here on what has become a rather solitary luxury prison for the next three days.
