Plugging Today! (Location: Phone)
I have a tendency to have my phone die on me because I forgot to charge it properly. So I set up a bi-weekly reminder on my Google calendar to notify me by email when I need to do the task.
Google calender generally tries to be helpful: when I enter certain phrases like 7p-8p it automatically converts that to a 7:00pm-8:00pm timeslot on my calendar, and it tries to auto-detect the location when I use certain prepositions like "at" (e.g., "Gaming at Joe's house" or "Breakfast at Cthulhu's"). Today I noticed a rather amusing biproduct of this helpfulness. Here's my calendar entry:
Plug in phone
It makes me feel like I'm a mob boss with someone I apparently need to handle appropriately this morning. :D
