Just One of those Days

So today has been interesting, to say the least. Earlier this week my boss invited me to a lunch meeting with the president of the college, her boss and the ceo of a local company to discuss internships. I thought it was because I'm in charge of internships around here, but she burst my bubble by telling me that she really invited me because she didn't want to go alone. This job really teaches one humility...

Anyways, back to the lunch in a minute. The day started with Ian waking up and saying "Oh, shoot." He forgot to set the alarm, and although I got up in time to get ready, it just throws your morning off a little. He's decided to make me breakfast this month since he doesn't have to teach, and while he was making breakfast, the breaker flipped off, leaving the kitchen and bathroom in darkness. While Ian moved the toaster to the dining room and the coffee maker to the living room, I went downstairs to flip the breaker, which is located in a locked basement for which we have no key. I tried knocking on our landlady's door (who lives on the bottom floor of the house), but she didn't hear me, so I had to trudge back upstairs (in my bathrobe and towel on my head) in 35 degree weather to call her. Fifteen minutes later we had power. Because I was running late at that point, I just called in to let them know.

When I got to work, I found out that my boss was sick (throwing up and diahrrea) and not coming in, although she was still planning on coming to the lunch. I called her at home to let her know that if she was going to lunch, I would not since I'm pregnant and had already lost so much weight in the first trimester due to morning sickness that I didn't wish to catch the flu. She put up a little bit of a fight, but then agreed to ask to reschedule the lunch. Which the president refused to do. So I made our admin assistant call her back with the bad news (we knew she'd be upset since she thinks the president doesn't like her). And she cried. What kind of crazy world do I live in that my boss cries because I try to reschedule a lunch meeting that can't be rescheduled???

Ugh.
