I pride myself in being able to at least do business things and other really important things on time. I pay my bills on time, and have all my business reports in on time.
Part of it is that I remember stuff good. Another thing is that I have my trusty palm pilot and Franklin Covey planner. Recurring things beep before they are due, and I never sometimes miss a deadline.
Well, today I missed a deadline. It wasn't 100% my fault. They changed the date of said report without properly notifying me. By that I mean the message was buried in a 3 page email. And 4 of the other 5 people who also do my job in Pennsylvania also missed it. The other one shares an office space with my boss, so she was personally reminded.
E-mails I just skim if longer than 2 paragraphs. This e-mail seemed written more by Ayn Rand than by my boss. With it's small font and endless narration, I just disregarded most of it, and printed out the attachment, which I assumed was the real reason for the e-mail.
Anyways, I want to say a goodbye for a bit. I am off to Capital City for training. Fun and snow in Central Pennsylvania. YAY.
Rob from Say Anything Blog will be filling in through Friday. He has a great site, and I hope you welcome him with all the love and devotion I expect from the 5 peole who read me.
