kyburg: (ooh that smarts)
I really ought to post that .mp3, just because.

Jim lost his keys at work yesterday - he maintains they were stolen. Me, not so sure. When he loads up (add too many tasks, too many insults to the system), he gets absentminded. He has about five pairs of sunglasses - why? He leaves them everywhere. So we just get another pair - and then find the lost pair and add it to the pile.

Big bluff German - Aries, Scorpio rising - Wood Dragon - moon in Virgo. All that fire and dynamics - with the most tender heart on the list. You see everything, right at the surface.

Losing anyone smarts. Trying to be there for everyone at Sis' house Saturday, it got abundantly clear this hit him too.

It took until this morning to find the spare set - but I had to run out and pick him up from work, and then take him back this morning.

Also had unexpected company on Sunday - all to the good, mind - George and Joan came by, and I handed off the old stinkpad hard drive to get the data off it (he took it and the carcas home with him. Bye Bye Stinkpad, so long!), and we had a nice visit. They also got to meet [livejournal.com profile] caitlin, and we had veggie burgers together. But I had to scoot people out when I had to go get Jim - I'm afraid all my handles were full at that point.

Brought him home and fed him my veggie corndogs. That's love for you - they're delicious, ready anytime in twenty minutes and only 3 points per.

Now, mind - I'm just as bad. Load me up, and I can't remember phone numbers. That's your indicator. Also, watch for the struggle to remember place or proper names. You can hear the *working* as I scan the database.

But I cheat.

Oh, very yes. I cheat big time.

You will see me place specific things in the same place, every time. Take my shoes off? I will put them in the same place every time, at home. Away from home? You will find them in the closet of the hotel room. Glasses and watch together on the nightstand. I will do it very deliberately - ala X Marks The Spot. I cheat.

I found my spare set of keys quickly. They were on the hook - and I moved them to the lockbox. They were on the hook with all the rest of the keys, including a bunch of spare house keys.

Anal as hell.

My memory is pretty good - but it's not quite photographic, and under stress? Not trustworthy. I know it - and that's just what I do to protect myself from it.

Poor Jim - it sucks to misplace things you really really need. And if they were indeed stolen? Not a nice feeling at all.
