Last Wednesday around 6 PM, I was sitting in front of the television eating pizza with Edie, when the phone rang.
The phone actually rang twice, but the first time no one responded when I answered the phone, so I hung up. But a few minutes later it rang again. This time the person asked where I was, and how come I wasn’t at the meeting?
Meeting! Our monthly ASM International Southbay chapter meeting that is (a professional organization I belong to and which I am the chairman) .
I had absolutely no idea. I had thought since I was gone the first 3 weeks of the month, and no one informed me about a meeting (I never bothered to check the website when I got back), I assumed we weren’t having a meeting.
Plus, I’m usually the one who has to spearhead everything to get the information out, and ensure we schedule the meeting, so I was shocked, to say the least, when I was asked why I wasn’t at the meeting.
Clearly I’m not as indispensable as I thought.
Oh well, this might give me an opportunity to get out of running for my 11th term as chairman.
