Sigh

Sorry about the second blog post in one day, but I felt like this situation says a lot about my life, so I decided to share it.

For newspaper, my beat is the Board of Education. For this, I have to attend the Board of Education meetings every month. Last week, I sent an e-mail to one of the board members to find out when the next board meeting was, and he told me that they would have a preliminary meeting about their budget at 6:00 tonight, and the regular meeting would begin at 7:00. I decided that the regular meeting was more of a concern to me, so I decided just to go then.

I arrived at the school at 6:50 and was excited because I thought I was early.

Wrong.

I took my seat in the library just in time for them to introduce the very last order of business and adjourn the meeting. Then I realized that the agenda I had said 'September 10 Rescheduled Meeting - 6:00'.

ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I missed the whole thing! Not only did I miss the whole thing, I showed up in my zebra print dress with leggings and huge 80s hair, and a bow headband in my hair, so I basically looked like a floozy (true, this could have been avoided, but I didn't feel it necessary to change - I felt if I could present myself professionally, the hair/outfit wouldn't matter - oops).

Anyway, I'm home now, almost an hour before I thought I would be and watching a recorded episode of 'Househusbands of Hollywood'. And I feel like a fool.

Peace.
