Yesterday we were not amused.
Okay, I am not going to be someone who speaksof themselves in the thrid person, but yesterday I was so damn frustrated, I almost screamed.
It's year end at work. Busy. Busy. Busy. But I am also on the Finance Committee of the Daycare board of directors and it's budget time. Busy Busy Busy. So I had to make an effort to attend this board meeting becase we would be discussing the budget. I know people would have questions, so I wanted to be on hand to answer them.
I got all my stuff done at work, which is a freaking miracle, so that I could leave by 5pm. Board meeting was at 6pm, so plenty of time.
I went online and checked out the bus schedule and saw that there was a bus leaving earlier from a different stop than I usually go to. So I went there. and waited. and waited. A half hour later (5:30 if you are keeping track at home) and there is no bus to be seen. So screw this, I walked back to my usual bus stop and hopped a bus that was sitting there.
The bus I took will get me close to home, but drops me off about 4 blocks away. In the summer, no problem. In the winter, this is one frosty walk. But I decided it was better than waiting for my usual bus. I got to the meeting 30 minutes late. My initial concerns about being at the meeting just as it was ending were unfounded as the meeting didn't end until 8:45pm.
Things are going to be picking up at the daycare board, because I have agreed to take on the Executive Treasurer position. Add that to my taking on the role of Co-Chair of the Investors Group United Way campaign and my existing responsibilties on the Winnipeg Police Half Marathon Race Executive... frick! it's going to be a busy year!!!
