Yesterday was supposed to be a reelaxing day. I had booked the day off because we were due to have a meeting in the afternoon fro the Plot. However for the morning as I had some urgent things to finish. In addition I'd been called by a customer who had an urgent job that needed doing.
As the morning went on it just got busier and busier. At several times I had callers queued up waiting to speak to me, all of whom were urgent. By the time I got home at lunchtime I was stressing beacuse we had the meeting and the important job was escalating into something that would need resolving in a very short space of time once the customers had signed their contracts.
When I got home I discovered that one of the trustees had had to cancel and the person from the local Communities First project had also cancelled. Thankfully I could cancel the meeting completely and not feel guilty.
As the afternoon and evening wore on and I was getting busier and busier as more problems arose that needed sorting. Eventually I managed to finish things off by 21:00hrs.
The wife remarked that it was odd that I could be stressing about things and cursing at the idiocy of others but then take a phone call and speak as though nothing was out of place. All calm and charm, that's me!!
