Another trip to Davao

I was supposed to be in Tagaytay yesterday but a sudden change of schedule, a workshop in Davao, given at a short notice last Wednesday that me and my team was in the thick of things and cramming to gather all relevant data and assemble a presentation. Friday, midnight, I was still polishing the presentation and making a checklist of slides yet to be included. Slept less than an hour and my alarm went off. 0245H. Time to wake up and prepare for my flight 0500H. At the plane, it didn’t help. Still can’t sleep that when I arrived in Davao, I was not in the best of condition but I just have to do it.

Anyway, had a meeting with the Sales team in the morning. It was good that I still managed to stay awake and not fall asleep. 1400H, after lunch we arrived at the office from Nanay Bebeng’s Restaurant and our workshop session started. Our department head talked about the business but it eventually ventured into the current political typhoon that we were able to start with the workshop proper at around 1600H.

1600H. Its way too late to start for the workshop but I just have to do it. My manager is here and have to deliver. 60 slides and by 1900H, the presentation went on smoothly. Answers were questioned and the Operations team were able to grasp the important details.

Whew! Next week, it will be South Luzon’s turn followed by Visayas the following week.
