This has been the worst week for travel and communication! [View all]

At work, a woman calls for a meeting on Monday at 10am and never shows up. I call her and something had come up so she asks to reschedule for Wednesday, I say yes but then have to take another meeting on Wednesday so I ask if we can cancel and touch base on Monday to set something up for next week. She says yes, and then shows up on Thursday saying she had me in her book.

Today I had a meeting off site. I copied and pasted the address into google maps and printed the directions, but somehow, even though I copied and pasted, the street was wrong so we went to the wrong house. No one was home. I call the woman. It’s a disconnected number. I come back to the office. She asks where I am and I tell her I was just there. We discover I went to the wrong address. I check her number and I had written it down wrong. I tell her I am really embarrassed – she says “Oh don’t worry – save your embarrassment for something really big.”

Then I get back to the office and have to send an email to our 14,000 subscribers. I lay it out, proof it, decide I want to change one picture, proof it again and send it. Somehow, when I changed the picture, I cut off the date of the event I was promoting – so I get all there emails saying “ummm…date?” So I resend the email with the date which makes me feel like a real winner.
My bus has been over half an hour late three times this week.

I started off today day by falling down my back steps, so I’ve been limping around all day.

DH is picking me up from work shortly. I hope he’s not late because I am seriously done for the day.
