How to get to the Meeting
Last week I found out that I had to go to a pretty important meeting at work – to a business site that I’ve never been to.
Don was nice enough to take me for a ride over the weekend so that I would know how to get to the meeting place. (I have a very bad, if any, sense of direction and don’t like to drive, especially to new places)I wrote down each turn, and how many miles we had gone, and when we found the place, I had a whole page of directions.
Well today was the day. I planned on about an hour to get there, even though it only took Don 35 minutes (on a Saturday morning)for the trip. I went off this morning with my directions on my lap, and – drum roll- it worked!
It took me an hour because of the traffic, but I didn’t make a single wrong turn and I didn’t cry, not even once.
After the meeting, it’s time to go home. Now mind you, I also can’t convert “to” directions to “back home” directions. But – drum roll again- I got home without a single wrong turn. I’m so excited.
