Getting too smug

[cjsmith]

I was so proud of myself for getting a lot accomplished today, and now I realize (after ducking home quickly to pick something up) I've left my purse at home. So I just drove for fifteen minutes without my driver's license; I'm buying a ten pound bag of cat food at the vet's this evening and I have neither cash, checkbook, nor credit card; and a bunch of notes I really wanted to look over this afternoon are also inconveniently not here in the office with me. I also don't have my cell phone. And I'll need to drive home without my license.

Oh, and taxes! I was so proud of myself for mailing those out last week. I realized TODAY - with maybe two hours left to get anything done about this - that I didn't write an actual CHECK. (Feds owed me; I owed state.) I sent the forms in but didn't pay. This is not optimal. So now, even though these forms were all complete long ago, I have to do last-minute scrambling anyway. (In California you can pay your tax bill by credit card, on line. If you have, y'know, your purse.)

I must have been getting too smug. *sigh*

We both also now have two power supplies for our laptops--one at home and one at work, because we can pretty much guarantee that the power supply and the laptop will not be in the same place otherwise.

Isn't that how everyone does it? :) I plan on leaving the power supplies in both places... it's only when I go somewhere else (and try to work online for a couple hours, without planning for it by bringing the PS) that I'm in trouble....

We had the silly idea that you just unplugged your power supply and stuck it in the pocket of the computer case when you packed up the computer, so they were always together....that really ought to work....
