Idiot: a foolish or simple person.

I feel like a complete idiot as I now realize that yesterday was my mom's birthday. I spent all day at a customers house and when I came home, covered in dust from head to toe; I took a shower, ate, responded to a thread that I started, then went to bed.

Amalgamation (uh-mal-guh-mey-shuhn)

coxcomb

fool
a conceited foolish person
 
^^ That is a great word! Thank you for the contribution! Given the somewhat lower maturity level of some of my co-workers I fear using such a word will not have quiet the same meaning. Instead of being a powerful denotation to their character I think they would just giggle.
