Paging Capt. Illyan...

Damn, damn, damn. I was supposed to be on campus today at 12:30 for a student's Senior Project presentation. Given the bus schedule, there's no way for me to get there before 2:00. I told them to go ahead with the presentation; I'll make my evaluation purely on the basis of the written work.
I need an appointment calendar, or something. Little electronic notes don't do me any good if they're on the other computer.
A prosthetic memory, that's the ticket. Anybody know where Cordelia got the one she gave Simon? (Anybody know of a more realistic alternative?)

(I suppose that's an effect of just having _had_ a cell phone for the last year and a half, I held out as long as I could)
But there's a better chance I remember the phone than any sort of calendar, which I tend to buy every Christmas, leave at home all January and cease to use in February.

Hell would freeze over before I got a microwave oven, dishwashing machine or an answering machine, though.

calendar.yahoo.com
It's a lifesaver when you work on call -- my multiple bosses all check it to see if I'm already busy before they try to call me.
