Well, yes, that's what the e-mail said. The one about trying to get the PowerPoint ready. I didn't realize in reading it, however, that something sent on a Monday referring to "tomorrow" actually means Tuesday, i.e., today, rather than the day after I decide to read said e-mail.
Meaning, I thought I had about 24 more hours than I thought to screw around with this thing. Luckily, because of my super human possum brain, I was able to complete my assignment on time. How did I find out I had misread the memo? When the guy came around about 3:15 and asked if I needed some help setting up the laptop and projector. As it was, the meeting started at 3:25, but I deftly maneuvered around the blame. For once, I was grateful the MIS fellow downstairs was late in burning the CD, or else it would have looked worse on me--my own tardiness was diguised by the even-more-tardierness on his part.
And really, isn't making myself look better at the expense of others all that's important?
Sure it is.
Now, time to fix the crap the Supreme Leader didn't like.
