Worryingly, I was giving a presentation a few years ago to a supplier and one of their guys was obviously asleep. Trying not to take this personally I soldiered on with the powerpoint and hoping one of his colleagues would do something other than smile about it.
I sped through the rest of the presentation as fast as I could, and assumed that the lights coming back on would be sufficient to wake the guy up. It wasn't. Turns out the guy was diabetic and was slipping into a coma. His colleagues had 'forgotten' his condition and had also assumed he was asleep. Ended up requiring an ambulance on site.
I've been to meetings that have almost caused me to slip into a coma.
Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?
