No board members showed up
at our writer’s meeting
on Saturday.
I dislike chairing meetings
and
being the master of ceremonies
for events.
I grumbled while
trying to find a replacement
but when I couldn’t find anyone
and I finally agreed to chair the meeting,
I stowed the bad attitude.
I put on my happy face.
I gave people the razzle dazzle,
smiling and laughing.
If you have to do something,
you might as well
get the full benefit from doing it
by having a good attitude
and completing the task
to the best of your ability.
That’s being professional.
