Hey Noa, guess that's more embarassing but less expensive than forgetting a brand-new digital camera on the t-shirt table of an anti-dealth penalty demonstration. Oooh! Never told you this part, I don't think -- the shirt I grabbed from the table fit just fine, since I checked the label ... but I didn't notice that I'd grabbed one with all the wording in Spanish!
Last time I contribute to THAT organization! ;^)
My anxiety conspires with itself to make me forget stuff. Like calling in each week for unemployment "certification". After missing 3 or 4 weeks of reporting over the course of two months, they just stopped sending checks. Thankfully, when I finally called to talk to a person (the "check-in" system is automated), the State of New York was gracious enough to pay me for the weeks I forgot to call in.
Of course, I needed to phone in to the main temp agency I am working with on Fridays to report my availability for the next week, and I routinely forget to do that as well.
Don't let anyone ever tell you that being unemployed ain't more work than being employed. I need a job just to get some vacation time!
cheers,
