Right here, right now

When I left for my holiday, I had promised that I will take my laptop and work phone with me, just in case. I did read my emails almost on a daily basis, but nothing spectacular happened. I was actually thinking that the only good result is the small amount of emails to archive upon my return. But then, today it happened. Our project secretary from Estonia called me, quite desperate, she was with our driver at the airport waiting for three of my colleagues, and they were not there. And she did not know what to do. So here I was, opening my laptop, finding a mobile number and trying to each them. And to my surprise, my colleagues were as desperate. They did not know how to contact the secretary to tell her that they are stuck in Riga, and will be very late tonight. So in 5 minutes I solved the communication issue: the secretary will book 5 rooms at a nearby hotel (very close tithe airport), they will depart together at 5am in order together to the training startup at 8.30am on time. Sometimes it makes a difference to be at the right time, at the right place with the right idea. (picture from here)
