Sitting at the table

I had very funny situation.

I should be on the meeting with our client but I was late a little bit. Something about 10 min. The meeting was in Warsaw and I work in department in Katowice. Of course I called to my Project Manager to told him about it. He decided to start a meeting without me. So when I arrived I welcomed everyone and I joined to to the meeting. 

It wasn't first meeting so I knew each other (except one man) and we talked about client requirements. We talked talked but one man who was sitting front of me just sit and never spoke. I have seen him first time and I was very interesting what he is doing here, but I was late so I could know who is he.

After meeting we planned to go to Warsaw office to talk about client requirements. So when the meeting was finished I started exchange handshakes with our clients and suddenly guy who was sitting a front of me when I tried to say goodbye to him He told me: "But I arrived with us !!???"  It was a second shoot in my foot in one day. Everyone started laughing because the guy work in the same organization then I. And we finished a meeting with a smile but why because of me ;).

So remember my friends.

If you are in one team set at the one site of the table (It is a good negotiation practise) and of course never be late ;-)
