So we are finally moved out of our old offices in the Edison Bldg. With no computers, or anything to do, Adam and I walked home so that I can give him a video. The rest of the guys decided to go to McGillans after setting up the network in the new building. I stopped at Doc's for a few beers only on the way to McGillan's. No one was there except Erik from work so I was safe to stay for a few. Unfortunately 5 o'clock rolled around really quickly. People started to stream in from my old work.
It was Kim's sisters birthday later on that night. Brad and I were supposed to meet up at like 7. I started having a discussion with a friend of mine from my old job, which was kind of cool. We haven't hung out in a while, since he moved to the burbs. So when he said that we should go up to his place, I was like sure. We got into the cab. Big mistake. I had completely forgotten about Tracy's birthday.
Joe calls at 8pm. By that time, we have had a $25 car ride and are up in the burbs. I am fucked. I call Brad and he obviously gets pissed off at me. The point that he made, and it made sense... was why I hadn't called him to tell him I was coming up to the burbs. At least if I did that, I would have been reminded of Tracy's birthday.
I don't get back into the city until 2.10a. There were no cabs, there were no trolleys or any sort of public transport to get me back into the city... and anyone who could drive me had been drinking. Chris dropped me off at 69th Street Station and I took the night shuttle bus downtown. Kim, Joe and Brad is over at Joe's brother's place. I go to bed.
I am such an idiot! What the hell is the matter with me that I can't remember shit? What the hell is the matter that I can't remember to call Brad? And the irony was that I was trying to be nice. I hadn't hung out with Chris in a while since he moved out of the city. I wanted to show that I would also put an effort into hanging out at his place, even though he's so far.
I think I am going to stay in for a LONG time.
