I assume the trip to Hong Kong will be my last. Then I realized I was wrong because am about heading to Hanoi on Sunday.
The trip has very tight schedule starting from Sunday, with several back-to-back presentations, until the last one ended 2 hours before our departure flight.
Normally I will save an extra copy powerpoint in a thumb drive just in case, but the need to use it never arise in the past 2.5 years. I am lazy and a little complacent this round, I thought this will be my last show and think the only copy in my laptop should be fine.
Murphy's Law never wrong.
I dropped the laptop bag in the airport toilet and heard a great bang. I cannot see anything from the screen again.
I tried so many times to reboot and it just didn't work. Out of desperation I hijacked the LCD from hotel business center, and I suddenly saw my desktop icons again. I transferred them to the thumb drive in no time.
There were 6 presentation sessions in all, and I'd talked to more than 80 people. Having 80 specialist doctors listen to you is a special experience.
I think the credit should go to the thumb drive.
Oh yea, the LCD monitor too.
