Why oh why oh why do I find it so hard to organize even a wet paper bag?

How hard can it be?

Few weeks ago one of our database providers phoned offering to do some training for us. I could manage to arrange myself and my assistant so it was worth the trainer coming. Even managed to email another library colleague over in another building in case she was interested. But what with conferences and other busyness didn't get round to emailing the Faculty rep or the rest of my colleagues in the Library till this morning. Not surprising the academics didn't come. But just to gratify me, 6 other colleagues from the Library came and made the 90 minutes really worthwhile. Including the woman I'd not thought could come because she was on leave - she came in 'specially.

Phew. But really, next time...
