Maki: Incidental Jackass

aka Walking Zero.

I'm realizing that with the 3,587 things on my brain lately things I should be keeping up with and remembering are falling by the wayside. Even worse is when I remind myself about something earlier in the week and then forget it by the time it rolls around by the end of the week. Very bad. You'd think I'm a drug addict the way information keeps seeping through my brain like a sponge that's already soaked through. Yet I keep pouring that bucket of water on it.

So what was one of the things I reminded myself of and then forgot about? Um, well, my, um, parents' anniversary. It was their 33rd anniversary last week. I mistakenly thought it was Sunday but only realized I'd missed it on Monday... But I was more than a few days late at that point anyway. The worst part is I had realized it the prior weekend and kept reminding myself to get a card and mail it. I guess once I stopped reminding myself that knowledge immediately vanished from my alcohol-addled brain until my sister asked me if I'd sent anything. She conveniently does this AFTER the anniversary. Punkass.

Next up? E-mail. I will be the first to tell you I am generally HORRIBLE about returning e-mails unless I write the response immediately. When I wait and don't write back immediately? Well, may as well pick up a book because it's gonna be a week or so before I remember to write you back. Even if you're my distant cousin whom I never knew existed that found me while researching family genealogy and googling names (thanks to everyone who used my parents' full names in the comments) or a friend I haven't spoken to in almost a year, it seems that it's gonna take me a week or so to get back to you. Think of me as tech support, give me a week and I'll let you know the deal. Eventually. But don't rush me. Before you ask, yes, I did write both of them back before I wrote this post, thanks. Give me a little credit here.

On the same page as the e-mail thing, I was supposed to e-mail my RSVP for the family golf tournament about a month ago. Here's hoping tonight's e-mail counts or else I wasted a plane ticket and a bunch of vacation days!

It's a good thing I have automatic bill payment for all my bi.... Aw, shit.
