I was contemplating joining a local professional association and decided it would be a good idea to attend their free introductory meeting So I planned to go after work, meet the officers and introduce myself to a few members
On the evening the meeting was scheduled, I happened to have had a very long day at work I had not had a chance to eat lunch and could feel my blood sugar dropping Since this makes me light-headed and a bit grumpy, I decided I had better stop at home and get a quick snack to hold me over, before I went to this meeting After all, you never get a second chance to make a first impression, right?
That night, traffic was blocked up, and it took me longer than usual to get home I decided that all I had time to was to run into the house, get two apples, a few crackers and a bottle of water and then hurry on to this meeting I put them all into in my large purse, and ran back outside to get in the car
Furtunately, the traffic had cleared up I sped up downtown and made it to the meeting on time, without eating anything “Great” I thought, “Everything is going perfectly” I went inside and all the newcomers were invited to sit at a round table and introduce themselves before the meeting started It was very crowded, and I did not really have room to put my purse on the floor or on my chair, so I put it on the table in front of me and settled down to listen to the speaker
After the meeting, I did what I intended to I introduced myself to the officers of this club and met a few other members When I was speaking I noticed that everybody was looking at me strangely and smiled The worst thing happened when I stood up, all things in my purse dropped out! Apples, crackers, a bottle of water, and even some make-up
