The best "W"-cutter there is!?
Some may have asked the question above to a tiny ant while searching for Shangri-La, others to a lonely desert fox while searching for Zarzora - the legendary and lost desert Oasis. Greek philosophers advised their listeners to search for themselves (if you know what I mean...). Myself I only ask my dear wife "where is it" every time she cleaned my computer desk while I was out in a meeting.
Still its nearly as difficult as to find as Shangri-La, Zarzora and one's true self - to find the eternal small important and lost note. Its always is gone when you most need it.
Have to admit that the task of not loosing important notes have become close to an obsession. So allow me to take you on a journey into the world of an obsession?
Okay, it's human to loose a note and it's godlike to forgive. But what would you say if it was you who had travelled half the world around, and then arriving in a new city where most don't speak your language (even if that is English). Tired you walk out from the airport and find a taxi and get to the hotel - only to find out that they don't have your name listed for any room.
Do you explode there or then, or will it be an "okay" pronounced on the edge (pick your own level and tone of voice)? Anyway you end up by calling your local travel agent and tell him what happened.
Then you get the following answer: "Sorry we have no booking, but I heard the one you talked to was looking for a note where we wrote down your contact information while talking to you on the phone. He must have been unable to get in touch with you, as even if he said all was okay - we lost your room when calling back to the hotel, due to 3 large conferences which all started yesterday. Fact is that there is not a single room available in the whole city."
Would you still say "okay"?
Most likely not, there is a limit to everything - and a travel professional have to be organized however much she or he are disorganized in private life. This is part of the profession, so you can now maybe understand my obsession with notes (come on, we all have to take notes during a hectic day!).
