I had a dermatology appointment yesterday, which I forgot about until this morning. I have been seeing this same doctor for over two years, once a month and this is the first appointment that I have forgotten. Not bad. I called this morning and pleaded advancing years and failing memory. The person I spoke to said that I can come in next Monday and that she would try to reverse the charge for failure to show. I would like to get all pissy about being charged and all, but I have no excuse. Last week I had to call the dentist and change my appointment at the last minute because I forgot that one too. Luckily, my dentist is short on patients and they were glad to have me come in whenever. They run kind of a loose operation anyway. As nearly as I can figure no one works more than four days a week in the office and the dentist works even less than that. At least I assume he's a dentist. My paternal grandmother lost touch with planet Earth in her 50s, so all this forgetting makes a guy wonder if he's not losing it. On the other hand, if you can still worry about losing it, you probably aren't really losing it. Right? You may recall that I was in line to get a bonus if our sales met expectation for the Thanksgiving weekend. Well, they didn't, so that bonus is out the window. Bonus is too generous a word. It was more of a bonette. I am getting, drum roll please, a little extra payment of $43 because of good sales in November overall. Sweet.
