I'm a complete dumbass today

Short work weeks always throw me off. Twice today I showed up for meetings that are tomorrow.

I rushed Court and Amanda out the door this morning so that I wouldn't be late for a conference call. I dialed in at the designated time and heard "The conference organizer has not entered the meeting, please hold." I listened to that message over and over for five minutes before I checked my calendar and saw that the meeting is tomorrow.

Then, at noon, I mentally prepared myself for another meeting, this one to be held in my office. Two faculty were to drop by after class to discuss a survey. I waited... and waited... and waited.... At 12:45 I checked my calendar. The meeting is tomorrow.

I hate meetings, even though I do just fine in them. I get so anxious and tense before meetings, and I find them mentally draining. Today isn't even over and I'm already exhausted from meetings, all of which are tomorrow.

I'm such a dumbass.

No. I'm the dumbass. I had a meeting with a new client today and since I'm all savvy and everything, I kept using his name in sentences to let him know that we were chums.

Finally, he very kindly told me that his name was not DONOVAN, it was DAVID.

I have no idea how I messed this up, but I am guessing that he won't be hiring me.....
