Crying wolf

[prog]

I missed an all-hands meeting today due to a series of failures.

• Once I marked the meeting in my Palm, I immediately wiped it from my brain.


• Having it not in mind, I figured that spending the Sunday-Monday overnight with friends in Boston wasn't a bad idea.


• I had, a week or two ago, set the Palm to breedle at me every morning at 8am, in a pathetic imitation of an alarm clock. It never works, and I find myself dismissing the 'Wake up!' reminder note every time I first turn on the Palm for the day, at 11 or so. So when I woke up at 10 today in Medford, three hours south of where I should have been, but still able to barely make lunch, I flipped on my Palm to check the time, and impatiently and blindly dismissed the two alerts awaiting me -- one of which was a meeting reminder.

So I'm waiting for Jim to finish seeing everyone out the door, so I can apologize with no excuses or alibis. This stinks.

get a life, huh.

[(Anonymous)]

I am highly suspect of anyone who identifies himself with Chris Elliot. xp

it is worth noting however that Prince Paul and Dan the Automator (and various other people) working together under the Handsome Boy Modeling School name put together an album that is laden not only with soundclips from Get A Life but also a heavy dose of Fr. Guido Sarducci. very entertaining, also good music.

l, who had forgotten about an alternate journal and consequently was out of the loop for a while. (because who can write email, am i right?)

I so totally mailed you! Didn't I? hrm

I have not seen anything that Mr. Elliot has done since 1991, actually, so I cannot speak for this. But the joyously bizarre "Get A Life" was one of the handful of media bits that proved formative of the personality with which I began college, and have more or less built on ever since.

I'd quote from the show now but I don't remember it well enough. LUCKY YOU
