That memory thing...
Wed, 09/27/2006 - 13:59Do you ever look at something and know you did it because it is done (so clearly you did it because things don't just happen on their own), but have absolutely no memory of accomplishing said task?
I am looking at my pile of work that I did yesterday. I don't recall doing ANY of it. But it is done, so I know I did it.

That especially happens to me when the work is repetitive or mundane. I call it my "mind numbing" tasks or "no brainer batches" and it's still a very odd feeling since I have to concentrate on other duties.

You know, at work I have problems with memory also. There was a time when I couldn't remember if I did this task or that task. I have so many things going on all at one time that I'm screaming for a vacation.
You can all imagine the feeling when the lead teacher (who is my supervisor in my classroom sort to speak) asks me if I did the kids's n#1 or n#2 or n#4. All of these notebooks goes for each subject. In each notebook I write in their class assignment which they will answer and I will collect back to grade or my lead teacher will grade (which I would be very happy if she does it often 'coz I'm busy writing in all 13 students journal notebooks their homework assignments). Then, in the afternoon....I hear from her sometimes that she got a call from a parent that i didn't write in their child's journal the assignment of the day. Then, I start to go nuts trying to figure out how I could have possibly missed doing that child's notebook. I tell you......I need a vacation. Also, time is my worse enemy so I go nuts if i can't get things done in the time given to me.
I'm so sorry I got off the subject......

I'm telling you what, my memory seems to be getting worse and worse. I know how you feel. I have beem messing up so many things at work this past few weeks from taxes to water bills to privledge license. My boss who is a very sweet lady has to ask me about things I do and where I came up with the conclusions. I can't even tell her because I don't remember. It is so embarassing. I am not sure how much longer I can go on like this, myself. Its nice to know I'm not alone, but I'm sorry you have to deal with it. (((HUGS))) to you.
