I’m part of a sort of mentorship program, and we meet weekly to discuss where we’re at or to attend presentations by professional artists or past participants. Exciting, right?
Well, I had Zoom workshop today and let me tell you… Listen. It did NOT go as planned…
Sooooo first faux-pas: I thought it started at 2:30pm but it started at 1pm. It was a 1:09pm epiphany so I panicked and rushed to get in..late.
Second faux-pas: In order to follow as much as I can since I already lost 9 precious minutes (at this point, I could probably say 10 mins), I’m moving around in my apartment looking for my notebook that was actually just next to where the computer was.
Third faux-pas: As I was already up, I took advantage of the possibility to go pee. I wish there was a more poetic way to say it. To court my bladder and take her out on a date? I don’t know why my bladder is a she? ANYWAYS! Not the point! Where was I? Right, soooo, of course I had to double check that I was on mute, but I unfortunately did, 3 seconds into my bladder date. I WAS NOT ON MUTE, THEY ALL MUSTV’E HEARD MY GOD DAMN PEE.
I PANICKED. I WAS MORTIFIED. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!
In despair, I texted a friend who first laughed at my misery and then told me to just pretend like nothing happened and to be as present as possible. I could not think for myself at this point, so I did as told. I was putting on an act but was DYING INSIDE.
What a day! And it’s barely 5pm.
