last minute problems as usual

I used to these last minute problems but still its not easy to handle all the times. I was experiencing the latest one in this morning.

One of my prospect was suppose to come to my office (9.30.am) for a product t demo and everything was fine till 8.30am. I got a call from my colleague who supposed to join with me for the demo as a technical consultant. He met with an accident and he's going to be late and I realise that he won't able to make it for the demo.

I got very few options, a-postpone the demo b-get help from other consultant c-do it alone. Option [a] was not a good idea and i didn't want to even think about it. [b] was a hard thing since most of the guys who is willing to help me are not in the office and the Mr. BIG SHOTS don't care to help some one or the company than doing their day to day work. There for I decided to do it alone or do it with a junior guy who know some thing about the product.

Any way I was not that unlucky since our Operations Manager promised to send some else to his meeting and help me on the demo. This is something unbelievable since the people who didn't have that important work never thought as the way my Operation Manager act. Finally I managed to do the demo in really good way with him since he knows the product then any one else in the company. BIG THANX TO VASANTHAN (my Operations Manager).
