Default Doh! Senior moment

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.

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.

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.

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...
