Missed another school play because of work emergency
This is the third one this year. My daughter was the tree in the school play and I told her I'd be there. Got a call at 2pm that day about a production issue and by the time I could leave it was almost over. She didn't say much but I could see it in her face. My boss said it was critical and maybe it was, but I can't help feeling like I'm getting the balance all wrong. How do guys manage this without feeling like complete failures?
Man this one stings. Three school plays missed in one year means something's gotta give. I know work emergencies are real but kids remember who showed up. That tree costume is only going to happen once.
