I do, it was my friend's wedding last Sunday but I was scheduled to work, I really want to attend because I want to try their food and want to meet her family and friends..
They are from Burma and it's a place where I have never been!
How about you? missed anything because of work or another appointment?

One of the reasons I decided to give up my job was because I was missing too many things, always working, even when not scheduled. It would have been great for you to go to the wedding. I am sorry it could not happen.

checapricorn not this month I havent missed anything. for one thing I am living in a retirement center, for another if we had had any relatives here we might not be in the spot we are in. so no I didnt miss anything except what I always miss, not being back in an apartment with my son, an miss him not getting a job after all these months too. this for me was to be temporary but so far it hasn't been. but one always can hope and hope keeps me happy for now.

I am sorry to hear that you missed your friends wedding and I am sure it had to suck and I know me and my wife have missed hanging out with my brother because either me or him or both had to work since we both work at Wal Mart only different ones,and there has been nothing specific this month that I have missed because of work and I hope in the future there is none either because I hate missing things because of work especially since I hate my job,but is good to respond to a discussion of yours my friend,and I hope to see more discussions from you in the future.

Same here, I missed my brothers birthday last election day. I have work on election day, and is being occupied with the result of election here in the Philippines. When he texted me and joke about where is his gift, I now remember! What a shame,. In order to show my appreciation and love to him, I just give him 500 bucks because I have no more time to buy him a gift.

Nope, not this month. My husband and I are both unemployed, so there are never scheduling problems for us. We can do whatever we want, whenever we want.

Hello checapricorn,
I promised my mother to send her back to my hometown but I totally forgot about it and planned for another thing to do last weekend. I felt so bad but was lucky that my another sister was willing to help replacing me. I know my mother felt a bit hurt of the incident and I apologized to her. I hope it won't happen again in future. I am really careless that I don't take note seriously on what I have planned.

i can't recall anything i missed this month, if talking of some occasion like wedding or birthday to attend to. but i guess, because of too much pressure in the working place and being so busy with mylot, i missed a lot of occasions not to attend but just to send them greetings. i missed sending a birthday greetings to my brother, and a cousin and even to one so dear to my heart. but there is always a next time.

I am glad I can attend to some other appointment because I am not tied to any job this time. I just work part time and there is always time to travel any place I want to with my hubby. I am also thinking how it feels when I will be working full time and then I can not enjoy any important appointments that me and hubby should go.
