Mom Talk

I only work in the office 2 days per week, Monday and Wednesday. This week, management called a mandatory meeting on Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. In order to make it work, I had to have my husband work from home so I can leave my daughter here. I also had to skip my exercise class because I wouldn’t have time to take it and make it to work by the meeting time (unless I went sweaty and in my workout clothes. I doubt that would be smiled on). I am, however, wearing jeans to the meeting. I have a very limited work wardrobe and an extra outfit is not in the cards. I guess if they don’t like it, I’ll hear about it. Overall, I’m annoyed by the inconvenience. They could have picked a day I’m already there or offered to let me participate via conference call. The real kicker is that this meeting is about nothing in particular. It’s just a “status” meeting to talk about various topics, most of which don’t even affect me. Okay, I’ll get out of rant mode now.
