Disappointment Likely
Right now, I am feeling a bit of disappointment because I do not think I will be able to attend the Retiree's Cigar Group this afternoon. Yesterday and today have become quite busy with a number of "repairs" I am needing to do for others who have been messing up. This includes some adjunct faculty and includes some Departmental student workers. To "fix" their errors is going to occupy a lot of my time.
I feel somewhat "put upon" by this situation, and I miss the idea of going to the group this afternoon. It is quite a refreshing and rejuvenating experience outside of my normal day-to-day. When I go, it feels like a miniature vacation, even though it is only about 2 hours of time at most.
I am going to try to slough through and see if there is any way I can still squeeze it in, but it is not looking good.

Now that the Retiree's Cigar Group is a regular part of your routine, maybe you could allow yourself one pipeful of tobacco on any Thursday when you are unable to attend the group? That might be exactly the "miniature vacation" you'll need today in the midst of the stressful repairs.
I see that you are in tight squeeze as it were. 😊
I think you should treat the Cigar Group as an unbreakable appointment.
You should tell the others who have been messing up that they damn well better have those things corrected by tomorrow.
I'm sorry that others' mess ups are costing you a get together that has become important to you. Although I agree with Street Writer, I understand that it's not that easy to do as the supervising professor. It affects everyone and everything when things are wrong.
It always seems to be the way, doesn't it? Someone else's missteps always seem to take away time and energy away from others. In effect, as Al Swearengen so aptly put it in DEADWOOD...They're handing you a bag of sh*t to hold...
