I was supposed to be at work two hours ago to teach a class. People are freaking out upset at me. I... totally spaced it. Went to Brunswick, picked up the package that's been waiting there, had coffee, waited for the natural foods store to open so I could buy milk. Dubbed around. Completely didn't even remember it.

Jesus fucking christ. I am in so much shit.

ETA: I was really upset with myself and terribly apologetic on the phone with the guy who called to see where I was, until I remembered I would get in trouble, and now I'm just pissed.

Ouch! Well, it isn't really that much your fault--just slipped your mind, s'all.

These things happen, don't beat yourself up about it.

Your employers seem really strict :(

Fuck! Oh, hell; that is so easily done by so many people. :/

They can ask nothing more of you than a calm and contrite explanation and apology. I know "it happens" sounds trite but, well, it does happen.

I hope they won't come down too hard on you about it. :/

Oh, dear, that is total suck. I hope they weren't too upset in the end. It can be hard when your schedule isn't the same every day; I live in constant fear that I'm going to miss a hearing or something that someone set off my regular schedule. To be fair, it's not like you forget to go to work on a regular basis, right? The weather sucks, right? In any event, don't be hard on yourself; if they decide to be prickish about it, just remember that anyone can make a mistake, and this was an isolated one, not your regular m.o.

Put your feet up, have a drink, and heave a great sigh that you're home safe and tomorrow is a new day.

Hugs!
