Mr. Forgetful VS Lunchtime
Today’s attempt at getting lunch truly got me thinking that I need to improve my short term memory. It started when I decided to go to Hale & Hearty for a sandwich. I thought to myself that before I leave the building, I should use the restroom (#1), then grab some money from the ATM conveniently located on the same floor as the restroom.
A few moments later, I find myself in line at Hale & Hearty being asked for around $7 to pay for my sandwich… naturally, I had no money on me and still had a desire to use the restroom. A quick run next door to an ATM and an understanding checkout woman made that issue go away fairly painlessly.
Back in my office, heading up the elevator, I think to myself that I should drop my sandwich off at my desk before heading to the restroom. I get to my desk, drop off my sandwich as planned and head to the restroom… only to realize that I was still wearing my coat.
Sure, this bothers me a bit, but I wash my hands and head back upstairs to my desk… only to realize that I didn’t complete the task I had intended in the restroom. You read that right. I walked in. Washed my hands. And walked back to my desk still carrying my excess fluids!
Now, I’m pissing myself off (pun somewhat intended), so I rush back downstairs (still wearing my coat, unfortunately) relieve myself, finally, then head back to my office…
I really don’t know if my mind is broken, but I need to remember to try at least something to somehow improve my brain functions… short of tying multicolored strings to my fingers, that is.
