Doh! Senior moment

[timwilky]

Lovely morning so commuted to work on the bike. first in the office, unlocked it, turned on the kettle and get my laptop out of my desk drawer.

Doh, I was away yesterday and laptop is in the boot of the car. lock up and early commute home. Glad no one noticed.

You mind was on other things Tim :p

I've done thing like that before.

Your rushing around so much to get the bike out as its not the norm and forget something.

So far I can list work mobile and shoes.

We all do it ..... I'm sure I've done worse ....

Forgetting tie and mobile phone are common ones .....

:eek:

Could have been worse .... imagine the kettle failed to turn itself off and burnt the office down .. :eek:

Mmmmm, sounds familiar.

2hr drive to go and see a customer. Arrive in carpark and think, wrong customer. Drive to next customer 1/2hr away and pull into car park only to find I had it right first time.

You have my sympathy/empathy.

shoes

Did that a few times, but nobody seems to bother about me wandering about the office in my socks, so unless I have a meeting I don't bother taking them. Feet are under the desk unless I go through for a coffee anyway. Lot more comfortable and allows your feet to breathe so they don't ever get hot, sweaty and smelly.

In my last job where I was office based I kept a spare pair of shoes under my desk.

I've got up an hour early before... looked at the clock and only noticed the minutes and though Blimey I'm late.

Cue mental ride into work to find it's 8 and nobody is there...

Got up saw the time and headed off to work as fast as possible, to get there and find had no keys to open up and had left my backpack with my work clothes etc on my doorstep. Keys were still in the door. Bad news was my boss found out and gave me hell for the keys in the door AND being late. SORRY DAD!! lol

:p

I've done the reverse .. woken up at 8, needing to be at work by 9 .... head was saying I had loads of time .... had a shower, got dressed, got on the bike ... gone to work ....

For some reason I'd forgotten that I can't teleport myself to work, and turned up an hour late, to find my colleagues all hard at work, and me very confused .... :confused:

Got to the end of the street and realized I'd forgotten the Lid the other day.

& you think you've got problems..
