Oh crap.

Okay, so I work very part time for the City of San Jose. I don't work much, maybe 1-2 shifts a month. As a consequence of that, I don't see my boss very often. Maybe once a year, so I don't like bringing attention to myself.

Well I did it in a big way this weekend.

I was scheduled to work sunday. And I plain forgot. I didn't remember until I got an email from said boss asking what happened. Shit!

This will not look good on my review!

Wow. That's not quite as bad as the classic "I just realized I registered for a class at the beginning of the quarter and then completely forgot about it and never went to any of the classes and now the final is today" bad dream, but it seems like a cousin.

I had an 8:00 AM meeting this morning -- which at Microsoft simply is Not Done, but the meeting had been rescheduled about four times already so everybody decided to grit their teeth and do it -- and I completely forgot to change my alarm when I went to bed last night. I ended up coming in to the meeting at about 8:50, five minutes before it ended. To make it even better, I just switched bosses; and not only was my new boss at this meeting but we'd discussed yesterday how early we'd have to each get up to make it on time. Way to make a good impression!
