(tear open envelope, pull out the card), and the winner is........me.
Yup, me (buffoon/plonker/dispstick/wally/wazzock/numpty/...)
I set up an Outlook calendar about two months ago to remind me of our wedding anniversary. Princess beetles off to work and gives me a peck on the cheek and says (affectionately, despite the ghastly error on my part) "Happy anniversary, my love, even if you forgot."
Forgot, I didn't forget, but Outlook did. I switch on my PC and check the calendar and sure enough there's the entry and the reminder for the day before. Why didn't it remind me? I'd set the reminder for the day before on the day it should have reminded me on. I got the email reminder for The Day but for tomorrow! The shame of it all. 
Stupid Outlook! Why didn't it have the sense to think, I'm sure he wants the reminder on the 9th, not the 10th. It's 2014, pooters are meant to be smart and reponsible for ruining running your life.

Ouch!
That's one of the things I hated about one phone - it would sync with outlook, which was good, but when you said "remind me three days before this" to give you time to think - it would do just that. And would remind you at midnight 3 days earlier - which of course wakes you up, wakes Herself up, and then you forget immediately you get back to sleep...

Well that's one thing I don't have to worry about. I'll never forget our wedding anniversary. If I did, it means I've also forgotten the birthday of my eldest daughter, oh and as it comes only four days after Mrs Yoda's birthday and the day after youngests birthday, I have nooooo excuse for forgetting.

You obviously have an Outlook Calendar Cranial implant. In your case, so many reminders they are like the proverbial London omnibuses.

I also don't have to worry. It is easy to remember Little Boy visiting Hiroshima

My alarm system at home allows you to enter a custom message on all the keypad entry displays.
Mine has: "The MATRIX Has U", yes there was a character limit.

We've all heard that the way to get a job in today's economy is through networking.
But with exactly whom? Anyone care to share their ideas on where to find the right kind of people to network with?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
