Stressful days... and more to come I suspect

Today was a difficult day.

I think that stress is making my memory less effective - in fact, I'm sure it is...

I had rearranged some meetings today to allow me time to get home to show a family through the house this afternoon.  I thought everything was under control.

Turns out I was wrong.

The first inkling I had that something was amiss was when one of my team showed up looking all "business like" while the rest of us were in jeans and more casual clothes - when I asked what she had on she reminded me about a meeting I'd completely forgotten that I had committed to attend.  In fact - I had organised the damn thing!

Oops.

Fortunately I was only expected to dial in and I managed to get home early enough to dial in - and only had to excuse myself a few minutes early....

But because I had to get home in time to dial in, I had to bring everything else forwards by an hour - which meant I lost my buffer zone... Add to that some unexpected complications from a big campaign I'm working on and my day went to shit.

I had someone call to make an appointment to see the house - whose number I took down, deleted the message and then walked out leaving his number on my desk...

A certificate I had to fix got done in a flurry of stress and my grateful thanks to the amazing women in my team who helped arrange postage for me while I bolted out of the office to get a train home...

But, I made it.

The family who came back (for the 3rd visit) had a friend with them who's in the building trade and asked for a copy of the contract.

It's wishful thinking to think that we could cancel this week's inspection - but I've started looking for a "sold" sticker....

Getting ahead of myself?

Only time will tell.
