Holding the bag

I am sitting here copying and pasting messages to people for the past hour, informing them that the trip to Jamaica has been cancelled.  Why you ask? Because my 2 compadres don't want to do it.  Ironically, these 2have been the ones striking demonic deals to everyone, from discounted rooms to plane tickets.  I tried to keep a straight face in all of this, being as honest as I can with every one.  The only thing I'm officially guilty of is telling an incorrect price.  Now I feel even more responsible because I was ill-informed about every thing else that was happening.  If I could turn back the hands of time, I would have told these crazy people not to go into a contract that they could not handle.  As a side note, you simply cannot promise a free room and airplane tickets to everybody.

In my first official year of business, I am having a Murphy's Law kind of year.  EVERYTHING THAT CAN GO WRONG, HAS WENT HORRIBLY WRONG!!!  From a botched wedding over a wedding dress, to a vacation that was cancelled due to lack of finances.  I have learned my lesson twice over, and I'm trying not to make the same mistakes for a third time.

Well now I am going into hiding, so I can sort a lot of things out.  If you would have asked me in January what my outlook was for this year, I would have simply said that it will be a good year.  Now, with the final quarter left in the year, it has went from sugar to shit.
