The Catherinette Chronicles

We all have good days.  We all have bad days.  I know the way my day will turn out based on how many meetings I have scheduled, and what time they start.  Today, my first of 5 meetings was scheduled for 8:00 AM.  Awful day straight ahead!  What makes it even worse is that I didn’t get back from my trip to NYC until almost 1:00 AM.  Why did I accept an 8:00 meeting when I wasn’t going to be back until late?  Easy.  I’m an idiot.

I managed to drag myself out of bed at 6:30, dress myself in clothes that match, and drive into work half asleep.  I was cranky, but I was on time.  8:00 rolls around and I dial into my conference call.  Then, it happened.  The thing that would totally set me off for the rest of the day.  Our admin sent us a little email saying that the meeting organizer was stuck in traffic.  My head just about exploded.

Umm, yeah, I got a little more than 5 hours of sleep last night and I managed to get up out of bed EARLY so I could be here on time for a freaking 8:00 AM meeting!!  If you’re stupid enough to schedule a meeting that early, then you better leave your house freaking early to actually make it.
