[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t imagine what sort of thing would involve an eight hour round trip, that would be anxiety-inducing, and that constitutes an emergency OP is the only one (other than the person it directly relates to) can solve.

It has to be something OP is also doing, but she has figured out a workaround for herself that apparently she can’t suggest to the other person, or that won’t work for the other person.

I’m bored so let’s brainstorm.

I don’t think it’s summer camp. Why would dropping your kid at summer camp induce anxiety. Unless it’s a strenuous drive of some sort and instead OP is putting her kid on a bus or plane instead of making the drive. But in that case, that’s an easy out, so it can’t be that.

Could it actually be something work related? Is OP going on a work trip and a colleague wants her to present something on their behalf, and OP is already stressed about her own workload? [/quote]

Hmm, OP used the word "coach" so maybe she meant it in a professional way, I hadn't thought about that. But then why would it be an 8-hour drive if OP if already going on the work trip? [/quote]

Maybe the workplace is some kind of fitness facility and they are all "coaches."

Maybe they all need to have some kind of certification and there's a deadline coming up and OP made arrangements to do her certification early or at a nearby facility but this other person didn't and now the only place to do their certification is a 4 hours drive away, but they don't have a car or don't know how to drive so they are asking OP to drive them there and back.[/quote]
