This morning, I had an appointment at a doctor's office 'clear across town'. Then I had a volunteer orientation two hours later on my side of town. So, since I had some place to be... the doctor's appointment went long. I'll admit it, I broke the equipment. I always make computers break down. It's a gift.
When I left the doctor's office, I had about twenty minutes to get all the way to the other side of town. So, I looked at the mapped path on my GPS and took off. I was making good time, too, until I hit the construction zone. Which appears to be the entire extent of Mid-Town. I almost rammed a woman who wanted to go left across three lanes of traffic choked by construction. I was chanting, "turn right and take the next light; turn right and take the next light". She didn't.
I'm lucky I didn't get pulled over. I rushed around, took a different route that took me about three miles out of my way, then whipped back and got to the meeting about 12 minutes late. I apologized to the nice lady who met me at the door and told her that I was there for orientation... and I was late. She just looked puzzled and told me they only had orientation on Wednesdays.
So, I rushed across town for nothing. Because this non-profit's website has a flawed calendar. I want to be calm about it. I want to not be angry. It's a non-profit. Probably a volunteer does their website calendar. But I can't get past that rush across town... for nothing.
I'm trying to work myself up to go back to the website and find the NEXT orientation. It's a good cause. I should volunteer... Maybe they need someone to do their website??

I think taking over the website would be a very *good* idea!!
Em, I don't actually have the skills to do a website, but I sure want to offer to organize a little. Hopefully, I can get involved and hammer a few nails, paint a few walls and help out a little. spw
