I'm horrendous w/ names. When I moved to my current area @ work, I tried to talk to people as little as possible because it took my months to get their names in my head.
I constantly forget about things, sometimes things I was just talking about. I'll look for stuff on my desk, like a pen & have to look for a couple of minutes before I see it.
what the hell I thought I was the only one who said paulchotic
Sometimes I am brilliant and organised. Sometimes I am the most forgetful, unobservant, dense human being on the planet. It's very frustrating because I have high expectations of myself and then suddenly I just cannot for the life of me understand someone or remember a name or something.
I will forget things.
You want me to give a message? You're better off writing them a note yourselves.
Wait, I was suppose to go this thing here with you Wednesday? okay!
Oh oh, wait. Today is Wednesday?
I better grab this thing before I go because I'll need it to do something. Let's grab it and go. (30 minutes later) How in the world do I forget to grab something before I leave when it was literally the last thought I had before I left on my way out the door?
I never forget if it is at least of slight interest.
