Oh my glad what a fucking miserable day. No breakfast left when I arrived at event, okay, eat chocolate buttons impulse bought at airport (for once, a good decision), give talk, then basically no food left for lunch (nothing I can really eat), it’s okay, leave for airport early.
-
Get to airport hotel, so basic, rude woman at reception tells me I don’t have a reservation. Driver from the event tells me he won’t take me somewhere else. So I have summoned an Uber and booked myself into the best hotel at CDG where I can have a nervous breakdown. Fml.
-
This event was such a mistake.
-
SamanthaZeitlin Yeah it was alright but only like 20-30 people came? Smaller event but is part of my overall feeling the ROI was low. And yes once I ate something I no longer felt like crying 😆
