Where do I even begin?
We’ll start with meeting Tim and the other guys I’d be going out with. We had a nice, general chat in the Heathrow Hilton to break the ice and get to know everyone a little. Then we had a very interesting presentation/discussion about the differences between India and the UK. It covered a wide range of topics from the differences in business practices and management policies to their culture and food. Learnt a lot from that. Too much. It feels like it won’t all sink in. I’m sure, with time, that it will but right now I feel apprehensive about starting work. I will be getting training but I really don’t know if I’ll be any good at this job regardless of training. I’ve never sold anything to anyone before. It doesn’t sound like a job that would suit me. Soon I will know I guess, but that doesn’t stop the butterflys from doing a merry jig in my stomach.
Anyway, carrying on where we left off…
So, after the presentation Tim and our group went our separate ways. He went back to London and we pressed on to check-in. The queue wasn’t too bad and the check-in procedure was straight-forward enough. There was a huge queue at the carry-on luggage checkpoint though. This delayed us considerably and caused the timing to be quite tight. Not too tight that we couldn’t grab some duty-free before boarding though.
