Storytelling

The reactions to my previous post were quite interesting.

Most clearly empathized with the frustration part of the post. I believe

this reflects the power of storytelling. And that pain can be shared in

text… (sounds familiar?)

and advice. In fact, they could use them as material for very valuable posts

McLellan also had some great insights.

Overall, it seems that everyone has their own personal de-stressing routine.

Thank you all for sharing yours.

The common theme seems to be: stop, breathe, and break the thought

pattern. Pretty neat.

Incidentally, I embellished the story a bit in yesterday’s post. I wasn’t quite

as stressed as it sounded, but I just love to tell a story to introduce my point.

Oh! I nearly forgot…

The flight was not at all the experience I was expecting…

It was very, very different.

In fact, I am still in London.

After 2 attempts to take off… And keeping over 300 passengers roasting in the

plane for 5 hours… while trying to fix technical issues… United had to cancel

the flight.

This was not handled in the most professional manner – especially considering

no-one had had any food for several hours – but that’s a whole story in itself.

At least, we’ll all be boarding again tomorrow, 23 hours later than the original

take-off time. Let’s see how United handles their 300 stranded passengers…

And let’s hope the aircraft has been fixed by then!
