mistake on a mass scale

Sep 28, 2006 11:07

I just want to curl up in a ball and not leave the house right now.  I'm in the middle of an icky head cold where my head aches and my throat is sore and my nose is constantly running.

But I have to present an article to a class I'm in on Friday.  I'd forgotten, so I scrambled this morning to find one that's appropriate.  But in my odd state they all started to blend together, so finally I forced myself to just pick one.  And then I mailed it to the entire class.

Then the true fun began, as I started receiving emails telling me we'd already DONE that article two weeks ago.  I thought it sounded familiar, but then I passed it off as it maybe just being a really brilliant paper.  So I sent out an apology email promising to find another article.  But I'm still getting emails from people telling me that we've already done that one and was I not in class that day?  I feel so stupid!  Stop telling me what an idiot I am and just skip ahead to the apology email first darn it!!

Now I'm paranoid about the other article I picked, which I'm pretty sure is new but I don't trust myself anymore.  Also, I'm now too late to get to my Evolution class and I still have to go and buy and install some software for my 1230 class, which I just learned about ten minutes ago in an email I'd failed to read.

I'd cry "Can this day get any worse!" but I have a horrible feeling that the answer will be 'yes.'
