I've kind of neglected this space for awhile. But with this post, I am back with a vengeance! By which I actually mean I will probably continue to write things poorly, sporadically, and not very often.
It's been a very busy week, and in amidst all of my work, I forgot to pay my rent. This occurred for a few reasons. First of all, my memory is comparable to that of an ant. Secondly, February is a short month. Thirdly ... well, I don't have any more. And that second one is weak. When it comes right down to it, I'm just an idiot.
I eventually did remember, but it was not because of any inspired moment of responsibility. No, it was because I needed a 10 minute break from work, and so I picked up the ole guitar. I started to play a few tunes, and somehow picked out "Don't Worry, Be Happy" as a nice place to start. And when I got to the line that said "The landlord say the rent is late," I froze in recognition of my own stupidity.
All I know is that without Bobby McFerrin, my late fee probably would have been even higher than $25 I had to fork over today as I wondered exactly how it was that I function in normal society.

The world has pre-authorized debits and post-dated cheques for a reason. I'd tell you to visit a CIBC for more information, but you'd probably forget your appointment. Also, get a Blackberry! There's a calendar feature just for you.
On the bright side, I still don't think this is as bad as the time you showed up an hour late for your first day of work because the clocks changed.
Is what Paul said true? An hour late for your first day of work? I'm happy that I got the good memory genes in the family...
Also, I'm amused that of the plethora of songs you could choose to learn, "Don't Worry, Be Happy" was high on that list.
