Making the Best of a Bad Situation

I had never missed an assignment before today.

My whole morning, I was trying to play catchup.  I was 45 minutes late to my 10 a.m. assignment, but still managed to get there in time to make a few decent photos.  I was not so lucky with my 12 p.m. assignment.

I was supposed to be at the Edmond Senior Center to take photos of a senior tap dancing performance.  I was running behind because I decided to go back the office after my last assignment to work photos.  To top it all off, the directions I printed off led me down a dead-end dirt road.

When I arrived at the senior center, I found out that I was about 20 minutes too late.

I kind of panicked.

Immediately, I started asking what other activities would be going on throughout the day, and for a minute my Plan B was going to be a senior aerobics class.  What a nightmare….

Luckily, a short walk through the building brought me to a game room where a few guys were playing pool.  They were very welcoming and seemed like they enjoyed having me there, so I stayed and took a few photos.
