Uncomfortable



After Iceland I travelled to Antalya in Turkey where I was providing support to an event management company who were managing a corporate incentive program for an online gaming company. My role was to ensure that the two charter flights that the customer had paid for went without any problems. The event management company had arranged for me to stay in the all inclusive resort that the incentive group were staying in. I arrived late on Friday night and spent most of Saturday at the airport making the arrangements for the departure in the evening I was back at the Hotel but the group and the events management people had the Gala Dinner that is common at these events. This left me to eat on my own and I have rarely felt more out of place. The resort had several big buffet restaurants but all were set up for families or couples, no one goes on holiday on their own!!. I was the only person eating on my own. I felt if everyone’s eyes were on me saying “look at him he is on his own”, I ate quickly and left for the room. Tomorrow is all day at the airport before an early night and then a 4AM pickup on Monday back to the airport so just one more night of “Billy no mates” to suffer.
