The vent will be short because it is not a common problem My husband and I are aging. husband will be 77 next month. We both work and have been active in volunteer work plus having kids in the house...that makes us a little bit unusual.
This week TWO times my husband has done or said something to others that he should not have said. The first instance had to do with business. husband really can't stand this one multi-location company since they treated him unfairly almost TEN years ago. They ordered special parts from us and husband delivered them. Then he told them he could leave the product with-o getting a check. OMG! He only did that to retaliate and I received a call from their manager within the hour. I didn't know what to say except "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding and you will receive the parts within the hour."
THEN at a big breakfast meeting this morning he shared info at the table with the new President of a huge organization. The info he shared was distributed to six people on a special committee. He is not one of those people...I am. OMG! He was critical of the prior President AND he asked financial questions.
I think "old age" is going to be a witch around here. There's no way you can go around calling people and apologizing for your husband's inappropriate input. I'm not good at stiflying embarrassment. Yes, I'm stifyling everywhere but here. Yikes. DDD
