Don't assume you'll remember!

Been worrying for over a week about an entry in my diary for today that just said "Presentation". Must have been in a rush when I entered it, and assumed that I'd remember what it was about, or planned to put more detail in later that day. But didn't. So I've been staring at this entry, racking my brains trying to recall who, where, what, etc, with absolutely no success. Hunted everywhere in my email and on my hard drive for some clue - nothing. Nothing in our team scheduling spreadsheet either.

Only things stopping me going into a complete panic that I was about to let a client down badly were:

1. I always put the detail into a calendar entry when it is confirmed, and
   
   
2. No-one's been chasing me for powerpoint slides or phoned to double check that I was still going to come.

So come this morning, still not having found anything to indicate what the entry referred to, I just had to cross my fingers and hope it was a "to be confirmed" entry for something that either never came to pass or I eventually declined to do.

And then around 2.30 this afternoon, I finally found an email in our team mailbox that had an invitation to give a presentation on 22 November, and recognised it, indeed, as one that I considered and then declined. Oh the relief!
