ANSWERS
Sample 1: This mishap happened to me a long while ago, but I still remember it like it was yesterday. My boss invited me to lunch to talk about my long-term career plans. And I heard through the grapevine that he was going to offer me a new position and a bigger project.
So, one day when I was supposed to be at the cafe, I was doing some work in the office like nothing was wrong. It was only when I saw my boss's name on the screen of the phone that I remembered about our meeting.
I was more than shocked. I had a panic attack. The only thing I wanted was to sink into the ground. I completely forgot about it. It just slipped my mind.
I realised how terrible this situation was. My boss dropped everything in order to meet me, although he was really busy, and I just didn't show up. I felt ashamed for what had happened and I didn't even have any excuses. I was feeling guilty as he was waiting for me instead of doing something useful. I was afraid he could think that I don't appreciate the opportunity or that I don't respect his time. Also, I was shocked because nothing like that had ever happened to me before. I didn't know how to deal with this mishap. Of course, I apologized one hundred times, but it didn't help me to feel better as I understood he had wasted his precious time waiting for me.
