Why Should I Listen To You?
Fragmented observations of a fractured lifestyle.
April 14, 2004 It Must Be Thursday

Chalk up another one for bitter disappointment. Apparently, it's not Thursday.

My default mental state gravitates to thinking that it's Thursday. I don't know why, but whenever I've been working long hours and losing track of time I seem to return to this fallback position for some reason.

Usually this has no ill effects. I remember that it's Wednesday or, in severe cases, Monday and carry on with my day. Today was annoyingly different though: I was all set to listen to several radio programmes alongside my working activities, had gone so far as to press the "Listen to this programme" button on a couple of them, and had been indignantly puzzled about why they were still streaming last week's show, when I realised that they, er, hadn't broadcast this week's yet.

Oh dear.

At least I didn't send off a letter to the BBC complaining that their audio streams were out of date.
