did the stupidest thing this afternoon. I mean, we all do dumb things (there is a set of commercials by Geico Insurance that feature this squiggly-drawn cartoon guy that walks up to a dangerous situation, for example, a big sleeping bulldog with a bone in his mouth. The voiceover says, "We all do dumb things…." And the guy tries to grab the bone from the dog's mouth -- and the dog wakes up and swallows the guy whole. The voiceover continues, "But paying too much for car insurance doesn't have to be one of them," and you hear the poor little cartoon guy go "Mmmf!" But I digress.) But this was really dumb.

I forgot my phone number.

Granted, it was my work phone number, and not my home one, and granted, I had the excuse that it changed twice in the last couple of years, but I am so embarrassed. I actually left the wrong number on someone's voicemail, and had to call them back and leave the correct number.
Ironically, this was only hours after I had a discussion with a co-worker, who was talking about how the mind goes when you have kids.
