Once upon a time in Austria – A true storie!

Today I had the funniest meeting in my entire career! A couple of weeks ago my company was approached by a guy from the United States about a possible cooperation of his search-engine and our website. I agreed to meet him and we set a date. Today when I returned from my lunch break (27th of April 2005), this guy was waiting in my office. First I got an angry look from my colleagues because they thought that I just forgot about the meeting, and for a couple of seconds, I actually feared that they where right.

But then I double checked my appointment calendar and reassured myself that the meeting was indeed set for 29th of April 2005. So this got the guy all nervous and he started to check his appointment calendar as well. Turned out that he was actually supposed to meet someone else in a completely different city, more then 350 kilometers (300 miles) away!

A few phone calls where made and luckily for him, I did not had any other appointments and we could held the meeting. Maybe I could have worn something instead of just plain jeans and a T-shirt, but in the end it was a very nice and interesting conversation.
