Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity

ah yes indeed, it maybe pathetic but true, J forgot to add me to the list of invites to our platform meeting w/ our big vendor of choice....Not a big deal except that I am leading all the programming changes for the web platform and employee communications rollout and may need to know some of what they discussed... Problem number 1: I look like I simply didn't show up. Problem number 2: J actually thought I didn't show up.

See when I confronted her on the topic infront of our director, she said of course I had you meeting request in Outlook...."No", I replied, "I would have gotten the email and responsed to the request had I been on the invite. Look in the meeting request and it will not show my name...see for yourself..."

"OH", "HAAAAA, I am such a nerd!" she says, "I am soo sorry!, I did that once to T too, and he was left out of the loop." I think to myself well your not a computer nerd that is for certain but definitely a nerd of another kind that is for sure... I offer to help her create a distribution list for this project to include all the key members so no one is left uninformed. She says sure but when the Director chimes in and asks in a matter of fact sort of way, "don't you know how to do that?" J, replies with "oh sure, I am certain I do, I just don't take the time to set it up." Right, I think to myself, she can't find her way around on the freakin computer, I highly doubt you can manage an organized task as setting up the program to do something automatically.
