There is a report related to my alumni club I should have done almost four months ago. I didn't think I needed to do it, and I got my answer from Los Angeles that I did need to do it after the event was over, so it was a case of out of sight, out of mind. But this isn't what I'm blog posting about, even thought I just did.
I finally had the time to fill it out Monday night with the intention of going to the library last (Tuesday) night, scanning it and sending it. And that is what I intended to do after I got home from work, ate delicious pho, surfed the Internet and thought about texting two strippers (one who I want to communicate with, one who I don't). After evening rush thinned out, I went out to the library, reached into my bag ... and couldn't find this report I filled out. And that's when I forgot that I stuffed this report in my computer bag and not my bag bag.
I remember when I stuffed it into my computer bag that I talked to myself about taking it out and putting it into my bag bag before I went to the library the next day. And I had all the time in the world to do that after dinner and before I left. But I didn't. And the worst part is is that I didn't even think of checking.
These are the times when I say to myself, "What the fuck are you doing?!"
My plan was to watch the Brazil-Argentina Copa America Semi-Final after I got done at the library. With me forgetting this report, I thought I would just not panic; I'm already four months late with this, so what's another day? But I'm busy going to the United FC match tonight, and then I can't go Thursday because it's Independence Day and all the libraries are closed. I could do it Friday, but I figure that the person I need to send this report to probably will take the rest of the week off. Do I just do it Friday anyway? Do it Monday?
Finally, after all this self-hate, once I got home I gave into self-guilt. I was going to lie to my parents that I needed to re-do the thing I initially went to the library to do the first time, but I went back to just fuckin' scan this thing because I meant to do it last/Tuesday night. Meant that I couldn't see the entire soccer match straight through, but hey, I was able to see the only Goals (both by Brazil) in the Semi. Plus this, uh, "oversight" was going to hang on my conscience if I didn't just swallow my pride and go back out to the library for the second time in 90 minutes.
Could've saved myself a bit of grief if I had just fucking put that report in my bag bag though, like I tried to remind myself.
