I feel so inept
I'm a member of the academic standards committee. Our monthly meeting was today. I rushed back to my office after lunch to prepare for the meeting. I copied an agenda and and shuffled frantically through and online folder of the items for the meeting. I was baffled. I didn't know what to take to the meeting besides the agenda. So instead of printing everything, I didn't take anything. Well, it was okay at first. Most of the people who were presenting brought their own items to share. So, I thought I was okay. Not! One of the presenters began discussing a memo that I didn't have. I began to panic, but decided to look on with the next person. He was a guest, he didn't have it either. So, I looked around the room to see that everyone had it except us. So, I sat through while they were talking making my notes. Along came the next item. I didn't have that memo either. I became embarrassed when the V.P. stated, "It's this one." I wanted to scream. I'm sure I look pretty imcompetent and unprepared. I can't believe myself.
