Three weeks ago, my boss called me into his office. Although I had been working extremely hard and knew deep down that he had absolutely no reason to be upset at me, I still got that stereotypical feeling of panic that almost everyone experiences when they get called into the office of their boss. However, as the rational side of my brain had been saying all along, my boss didn’t have anything bad to say to me. Instead, he asked me if I wanted to take a trip to Cardiff. Our company has several major clients in Cardiff, and my boss told me that he wanted someone to go there and go to lunch with the different clients. I actually always enjoy travelling (even when it is for week), so I told him I would be happy to go to Cardiff and meet with our clients.

Since this was a business trip, all of the arrangements were made for me. When I my plane landed, I was able to pickup the Cardiff airport car hire that had been reserved for me. From there, I proceeded to go to my hotel and get some rest for the night. The next day, I had my first lunch meeting in Cardiff, and it went very well. After my first meeting, I spent the next three days having lunch with the other clients of our company. In total, all four of my lunch meetings went very well, and by any one’s judgement, my trip to Cardiff was a major success!
