My 4 o'clock

Several weeks ago, I got an invitation to a meeting today. Well, invitation isn't quite right...more like summons. The funny thing about the meeting is that the list of invitees was a bunch of chief officers in the company, some vice presidents, lawyers, and me.

Surely there was some mistake, some important person with a name spelled similar to mine.

But no. I manage a small program, a tiny little boring program of minor significance, except every few hundred years when it attracts the interest of big important people, and its my misfortune to be the manager during this once-in-a- few hundred year occurrence.

So, you know me...do you think I stressed out about this, just a tad?

Do you think I obsessed about it for every moment since getting the meeting notice?

Do you think I anticipated every question the big people might ask? Do you think I drove everyone around me nuts, trying to get them to quiz me on things I may have overlooked?

Do you think I felt queasy all day, because the meeting wasn't until 4 pm?

Do you think I got an e-mail at 2:15, postponing the meeting until...get this...August 26?!?!

As Charlie Brown used to say: I can't stand it.
