I have a neverending battle with forgetfulness. As a kid in college, I could be seen running in and out of my front door several times, any given morning, remembering things I needed to bring.
On business trips I have forgotten socks, combs, toothbrushes, you name it. I once forgot the power adapter for my laptop.
Well, this morning I blissfully sit down in my office and relax in the calmness. See, yesterday had me running around like a three legged cat covering poop on a marble floor. I hardly got a chance to even sit yesterday. But today....aaaahhhhhh.
Suddenly, a flash of electrical output somehow connects a couple of synapses in my brain and forms into a thought and the slightly audible, "oh no."
Yesterday, I was suppose to be at the courthouse for jury duty. Wow, I completely forgot. The city just had a huge press conference a few days back relating how they were going to start cracking down on these delinquents who weren't showing up for duty. I just knew I was going to be fined or worse, having a court summons in my honor. I even debated not calling in effort of not drawing any attention. Nevertheless, I hastily call the number on my summons and the lady on the other end calmly reschedules me for August 10th.
You folks better remind me this time.
