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.

the whole album is great. you should get it. the group name is Handsome Boy Modeling School, the album is titled 'So...How's Your Girl?'

a revisitation reminds me that the whole album does not contain Get A Life samples but one song in particular does: "Look At This Face (Oh My God They're Gorgeous)".

go to CDnow and check it out, there's a sample and everything.
