I forgot.

If forgetfulness is an art, I am THE master.

I have always been forgetful. I used to forget lunch boxes and home work assignments, sometimes even tests ... twice actually, and in both cases it was English tests. Phew! ...
and now I forget appointments and status meetings. I used to end up going for breaks at exactly 10:28 and miss the 10:30 daily status meetings INSPITE of outlook reminders! Go figure!! ... thankfully new Lead calls for Weekly meetings only, that too, she forgets!!

But what I did yesterday takes the cake.

I sent a status mail without the status... Non IT people read I made apple pie without the apples
Yeah, sure... people miss subjects, attachment. But your truely missed the body of the mail!

Yes, that’s it. I forgot to insert the colorful table I had prepared... yes colorful, I am after all me *wink*
My onsite coordinator had a gala time replying to the mail.

I am trying very hard to visualise what the execution status looks like. Or is this an innovative way of saying no progress ;)
