PracticalDad Systemic Failure: Family Calendar
For a guy who lives and dies by the calendar, December has been a mess.
The next year is approaching and I have to start listing the 2010 events on it, but the problem is dropping the December events. With all of the Christmas hoopla, I've not kept up with it and have been burned twice due to non-listing of events. Damage? Just some embarrassment. So the job tomorrow is to get the 2010 calendar and then cull through December notes and get the present calendar updated.
The upshot is that I have to get back to weekly reviews of the calendar to assure that this doesn't happen again.
