So I just got word today of a schedule issue that cannot be changed and, on the eve of departure, I am unable to make the conference. I'm pretty sure there aren't sufficient words to convey what I'm feeling at this moment. Well, there may actually be sufficient words, but on a family oriented forum such as this, I can't use them, so there actually aren't sufficient words for me.
I am bummed.
Being slapped down at the last possible moment is a bummer for sure. Being slapped down long term (knowing all along you can't go) is an extended bummer. Which is worse I don't know.
Excessive imbibement helps, but it is temporary.
