So here I am helping out at my schools PTA meeting. Everything is going great, all of the parents showed up and were having a great time. Again I’m helping to make this meeting go well, assisting with setting up and now I’m helping to distribute to finger foods for the parents to eat and mingle with each other. Handing out drink after drink ‘what kind would you like’ I said ‘grape please’ she responded…’oh I’m out of grape just give me a second I’ll get some’ so i walked down to the guidance counselor rooms and proceeded to the freezer to retrieve two cases of drinks. the boxing that housed each case was completely frozen, ice had formed on all sides. still i managed to steadily lift both cases of drinks together in my hands. Making my long way back to the distribution table amidst many parents, teachers, staff and even some students something very embarrassing happened. The ice started to melt and went crashing down to the ground, everyone looked on to see that I dropped the last two cases of drinks and how heavy could it be i mean its only two cases. Looking around I could almost see what they were thinking and the names they were calling me.
Completely embarrassed i picked up the 48 can juices set them up and went on the computer.
Were did I go wrong I shouldn’t volunteer in the first place.but then again I shouldn’t lift a frozen box.-
