The agenda for that morning was quickly turning into something from a Jerry Lewis film. I only wish I could have snapped pics of my expressions as I walked through the store. In my business attire I had started out early to get chores done before going to the meeting. Rushing through the house picking up things I needed I absently left my sandals for my pedicure at home. Walking through the grocery store I must have looked hilarious to onlookers. All I could do was laugh at myself. My chic points were diminishing but I was not to be sans classe.
I froze and began to ask the store workers to help me. I asked one cashier to please go and exchange the five dollar bags of chips I picked up without pricing for the multi pack that was way less. To the bagger I said, "I need your help. Would you please go out to my car and get my shoes they're on the passenger side." After getting the description of my car he went quickly like he was on my payroll. What great over the top customer service.
You'd think I would have calmed down after that incident but that wasn't the only part of my crazy day. Finally getting to the meeting on time I called to my team leader to come out and help me bring in the snacks. The meeting went well, and afterwards I decided to serve the sandwiches to the guests. Going back for seconds for one of the guests I accidentally bumped the presenters sandwich plate spilling her sandwich in her purse and on the floor. Eeeeeek! What a mess and an embarrassment. All I could think about was how unfocused I had been that morning. Shaking my head I whispered, "Lord I should have had my coffee today."
