In which I am turning into an idiot

[flea]

I was just FORTY MINUTES LATE for a meeting. That I knew about, checked my calendar this morning and reminded myself about, thought about as late as 10:30am, and then completely forgot about until I looked up from compulsively hitting refresh on LJ comments to think "My god, it's 1:41 and that meeting is at 1pm!!"

Worse? I did the same thing yesterday, to a meeting I WAS CHAIRING. Luckily only about 15 minutes late in that case.

Am I distracted and insane, or what? I hate being like this. If there is one thing I can count on me being, it is reliable. A major portion of my indentity is freaking out on me! Help!

Is there any chance you're pregnant? --asked the woman who, while pregnant, tried to step into the shoulder straps of her bra, and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working.

When I was first pregnant, I just didn't bother getting out of bed for more than three hours a day. Luckily, as it was, I had been laid off/fired/whatever just a month or so earlier.

I would double check the whole "monthly schedule" to see if you're, uh, late for a DIFFERENT meeting, but with winter and darkness and extra stress going on, I'd also suggest taking a good solid multivitamin with B-complex and iron.

And try for an extra nap over the weekend!

Well, the lack of sleep/interrupted sleep can't be helping your concentration any!

Note to self: single parenting is tough!

It's possible, just possible, that you're distracted by non-work things this week. Possibly.

Good luck w/all.
