So Now I'm Feeling Like Absolute Poo

...because of something that happened earlier today.

I had my interview today for the volunteer position I've been working towards.  It wasn't a question of not being accepted, that was never a problem, and the interview was merely a formality, but I talked the whole time I was there about how flexible I am schedule-wise, and how I had all these days open, and what do I do, but unknowingly schedule my first volunteer day on a day the E.M. and I are taking a day trip to London.

UGH..

Not only is that my first volunteer day, but we took a long time after the meeting and lunch to figure out a date that would work for ALL of us, so we could take a tour of the place with one of their most knowledgeable guides.  I'm the newest one, and I needed this the most.  So, I'm the one who would benefit the most from this experience, yet I can't make it.

UGH..  again.

So I worked up the courage to call the coordinator and let her know.  She's an incredible woman, and I admire her immensely, therefore I was incredibly embarrassed that I had to immediately call her back and scratch myself off the lists I'd so willingly added myself to for that one day.  She wasn't there.  I was told she'd call me back, which made me feel a LOT better, only that was about 5:30 this afternoon, when I was told she was expected home any minute.

It's now 10:01pm.

UGH!!

So I don't know what to do now.  Should I try calling her back tomorrow?  Should I try emailing her?  There are about 9 days between now and then to change dates and times, but even though a week and two days feels like a comfortably decent amount of time, it's really NOT that long when you're going to have to scout around and find a backup.

OH ugh.

I hope I hear from her tomorrow.  I don't know what to do, otherwise.  I wouldn't have knowingly overbooked a day, definitely not!

We'll see what happens.

UGH.
