Not trusting people

I emailed the woman and told her I'd be at the restaurant for dinner.  I was tied up in a 2 hr meeting and got out just in time to leave for dinner.  It was just over an hour's drive.  The woman phoned me and asked if I was still going.  So when I got to the restaurant and looked at my phone there was her message.  I figured that she wasn't going to be there, and she wasn't.  She didn't trust me to do what I said I would do.


The good part is I met some very nice ladies.  They invited me to come back again and to be a speaker in the fall.  The not so nice part was the dinner.  The rice was undercooked.  I chose to not send it back, but I'm not going to be in any hurry to go back to O'Charleys.  And I just won't order anything with rice.


I'm working from home today.  Not much else is going on in my life.


Have a great day,

Karen I hate you went so far and the lady didn't show up. Then the dinner was a bust too. Sounds like you met some really nice people, so at, least it wasn't a total loss. Enjoy working from home today. I plan on sitting home most of the day too.

I just spoke with the woman who said she left the office with the directions on her desk and got lost.

One of my fears is being late so sometimes I have been very early....and once in a while it works for me.....like Dr. appointments, I don't know how many times I have gotten in and out of the office before my appointment time. Other times I have to sit and wait for someone that is always has more going on than I do I guess......


I have a friend that won't drive to the next town just to get groceries she waits till she has a long list of things to do......and while we could have had lunch at home (she lives a couple blocks away) it is nice to have lunch out and I wait because she had 20 things to do then eat lunch then finish her list.......GEECH.......lol


Retired and lovin'it.
