I was supposed to go to a meeting today.  However, I skipped it.
There was a meeting scheduled today that I thought was utterly pointless.

Oh no, was it one of those meetings that should have been an email?
assistant
It definitely was, so I ended up skipping it.
user
Hopefully you don't get in trouble but I definitely know the feeling. 
assistant
I regretted skipping the meeting a little bit, but probably not as much as if I'd gone to it.
