confession

I stood Geoff up yesterday.

Yes. I did (see comments here). Don't ask why. I have no good reasons. It seems I am still learning how to use a callendar. I had the appointment down in the little box. But equating the box with the number "30" in it with the actual 24-hour period I was in the midst of was apparently too challenging for me.

Sorry, Geoff. Sigh. Now, Thomas, again, no tickling of the foot coming out of my forehead.

ha, you saw my little jab over at jen's. that was only for the benefit of the
chicago bloggers. it really was no big deal. I love getting out of the suburbs...don't think anything of it

I am pretty clear on that. But let the teasing continue anon! I am one of the worst about teasing.

Tripp, I have the same problem with dates and actual days! Let alone days of the week... those are completely beyond me.

Hmmm...and all three of us have a significant percentage of Irish blood. Um, is there some connection here?

Posted by: Tripp at March 31, 2004 01:28 PM

Probably more of a connection to each of us having overly busy lives.

Sounds like you could use a PDA, a personal digital assistant. You know, a string around your finger.

PDA?

Um, I can't even use a callendar!

my philosophy is that if I can not remember it, it wasn't that important...I have only misses maybe 3 appointments in my life. I just refuse to be ruled by a calendar.

See, I miss appointments all the time...because, as Megan said, I do too damn much.

I wear a watch all the time, and use my PDA (the machinery kind, not the string kind). I've set the PDA's datebook function so that it always pops up the actual day it is -- helps me get around my tendency to wander in time.

I have not worn a watch since I was 22.

And I forget to look at the calendar as well.

Hmm...some of this can be fixed.

I dont know the last time i wore a watch...ages ago. (i think back in the 80s when swatch watches were hip).

Believe me I am extremely busy, but I dont schedule more than i know I can handle. Hence, no calendar. I know that i would be a slave to it. Over book myself, be ruled by appointments. We are all busy, but isn't that part of our problem? We need to chill. Be busy, but be nice to yourself.
