What on earth are we doing here? - WE107 Weekend-Engagement

What on earth are we doing here?

Good evening to all of you who read my post today as well as to all of you who follow me.

How are you doing?

What are your plans for this weekend?

Today when I saw the upcoming wekend theme I saw a point that I really need to tell you about because I've been laughing ever since.

The most embarrassing
Tell us about the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you personally, how it made you feel and how it impacted your life when it happened and into the future.

Being at work one day of the week doing the work I do every day, I see my boss come to me and say we need to talk, but not at this time as he has a meeting and after the needles are done he calls me to talk.

The way I saw him, he seemed a little down, angry and thinking away, but I thought maybe he was having a bad day.

He's done with the meeting and calls me, telling me to come to his office. In a few minutes I was already in his office.

You could tell from the post that he was very distressed, so in a quiet voice he said to me, Gaby, I lost a very close friend, he was only 50 years old, suffering from an unrelenting illness and passed away.

And just as sadly, he gives me some money and tells me to get a wreath made of natural flowers on which to write* "A last tribute from him".*

You may ask me why I bought the wreath, in Romania when we go to a funeral we bring the bereaved family a wreath with a last message on it, the wreath has a skeleton made of some wooden sticks, and this skeleton is dressed with pine branches and among these branches we put natural flowers, lilies, white roses, chrysanthemums, orchids.

The wreath represents the expression of regret, friendship, grief for the bereaved family.

After buying the wreath I got to the office and put the wreath in the boss's car, he was very angry and asked me if I could accompany him to the funeral as he is both obese and angry and was not able to drive the car.

Being my boss I couldn't say no to him, so somewhere around 1pm we left for the chapel where the funeral was taking place, we had to drive for a maximum of 40 minutes, it was so hot outside you'd melt.

In the town where we were supposed to arrive there were two chapels, and the wife of the deceased did not tell him which of the two chapels the burial was at.

Not knowing where the funeral was being held we put the location on google maps and headed there.

All very well we get there, we see a lot of people gathered already, the deceased was a very important person in the political world and it was normal that a lot of people lead him on his last journey.

The boss takes the wreath from the car and we both go to the chapel to offer condolences to the family, very important the deceased was a man (the one we were supposed to get to), we get to the chapel put the wreath in place and go to the family and offer our condolences and among other things my boss says to a person there, "God forgive him", to which that person says back to my boss, "God forgive her".
The boss gets suspicious and asks another person there if the deceased is a man, to which that person says she is not a woman, she is a former high school teacher.

Wow, the boss went white in the face, I thought he was having a heart attack, it was clear we went to another funeral.

Of course the chief was ashamed to go and retrieve the crown, yes, I was the one who retrieved it, you can imagine I had to search through the crowns to find it, eventually I managed to retrieve it and go to the other chapel in town.

By the time we got there the funeral service was almost over, but we made it our duty to pay our condolences to the bereaved family and of course to leave the wreath to the right person.

Believe me, for a couple of weeks we didn't tell anyone what had happened to us, we made fools of ourselves and felt ashamed that we had made a mistake at the funeral we were supposed to go to, what can I say that my colleagues at work are still laughing about what happened to us after a few months.

After all, even I find it very funny to get the wrong funeral to go to, which is exactly why I am sharing this embarrassing moment with you.

My dears this was the embarrassing moment I went through, which today has turned into a vessel moment, I hope you were a little amused by the situation I went through.

Are there any of you who have had to miss the funeral you were supposed to attend?

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my post today and I hope you enjoyed it.
Yours @triplug!
