ok i shall not be too harsh on myself, it could have happned to any one, at any given pint in time.so what happened is as follows....i was supposed to have read the second part of a two volume book (really really fat ones at that) by yesterday when the meeting with the superviser was scheduled.i started the day before, but did not proceed beyond the first 10 pages....had to fib, as usual. but anyway, with the resolve to save face at a later point in time, i went straight to the library and sat down to read. after 2 hours, it suddently occured to me to look at the cover page. and there it was, in bold VOL 1. as i said earlier, it could have happned to anyone.
