On the Road Again
Oct 8th, 2007 by Yue
It seems like you never get a break in sales. It’s the first week of October - the beginning of the 4th quarter. Now starts the final stretch for making our yearly sales quota.
So I’m headed back to Asia, this time for four weeks. As Charlie drove me the airport on Sunday morning, I felt sad, although I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because this is going to be a long trip. Or maybe I’m still feeling the effects from Friday night, when I suddenly fainted during happy hour and ended up in the emergency room. I gave everyone in the resturant a scare since I was on the floor unconscious for almost a minute.
The doctor said I was fine - I’m just a “fainter.” Looking back, I’ve fainted two times previously in my life, but its usually caused by something obvious or stress (like one week before the wedding, seeing Charlie with blood on his face after having his wisdom teeth removed by the dentist - they hadn’t yet cleaned him up when I walked in). Anyway, the doctor made me feel better by saying he was a fainter also. And it once happened when he was a groomsman at a wedding! Luckily, I haven’t done anything quite so dramatic yet.
So back to my trip. My first stop is Taipei, where I’ll be attending the Taiwan Autumn Electronic Show, one of the most famous in the electronics industry. The city will be packed with visitors from all over the world. After that its Shanghai. And then maybe Hong Kong - that’s still to be decided.
