If there was any doubt that I work for a first-rate company, it was dispelled by some excellent news I got last week.
I will be visiting the Fonterra Sales Office in Dubai in order to meet the Sales team which sells product to customers all across the Middle East and Africa. Account Managers and Executives.
It's a great opportunity to see things in 'the field' for myself and it will be a pleasure to finally meet all the people I have been talking to over the phone and email for the last ten months.
To be honest, it wasnt really on the cards, but my flight home to Nigeria is booked on Emirates and I will be stopping over in Dubai twice. So I suggested to my boss that why dont I use the opportunity to visit the office? i wouldnt have been surprised if she had said, 'Nice try Ladi' but she didnt. She thought it was a great idea, spoke to the Dubai office who also thought it was a great idea!
No, they will not be paying for my flight back home to Nigeria but I am booked to stay in the classy Le Royal Meridien Hotel with meals and transport thrown in! Yes it would have been nice if my ticket could have been fully covered but lets not get ahead of ourselves!
The picture above of the 'Seven Star Hotel' I got off the internet. In 6 weeks, I will post a picture of the hotel taken from MY camera!
I LEAVE FOR LAGOS TOMORROW!!!!!
(and I still havent packed! Heck! I havent finished my shopping!)
