Damn. Wondered into the thread to make that joke, but it was taken.
I’ll be out killing threads if anyone needs me.
I glance at the corner of my monitor to see the day and date.
My husband not only frequently doesn’t know what MONTH it is, but he also can’t correlate a number with the name of the month.
I think his mother dropped him on his head. Seriously.
If it makes anyone feel better, the cashier is very used to people not knowing the date. I’d say that probably 4 out of 5 people who need it for a transaction don’t know it, and half the time the other 1 out of that 5 isn’t too sure and needs to double-check.
I don’t know the date, although these days I know the DAY, because I babysit nearly every weekday now, and need to know when to expect who. Whom. Something like that.
But I’m just as bad as historical dates, including my own birthday and those of my children. I never know how old I am, and I have to do the math every single time someone asks me. So far, I’ve kept track of how old my kids are, but they’re only up to 14 and 2, so it could get dicey in a few years. Their birthdays, though, that’s the hard one. Especially my daughter, since it was nowhere near her due date (Feb. instead of the June I was expecting) and things were so up in the air for a while there. Three and a half months of sitting at a bedside in a windowless ICU is fantastic at erasing your sense of time and the outside world. So her birthday’s in February. The ninth, I think. Unless it’s the fifth…
I’m lucky to have been born in year ending in zero, so it’s pretty easy to do the math. Otherwise I probably wouldn’t know how old I am.
If I’m filling out a stack of forms or checks where I need to fill in the date many times, I glance at my watch when I come to the date field EVERY DAMN TIME.
If I’m not wearing my watch and someone asks me the date, I glance at my naked wrist before replying, “I don’t know”.
I never know what the date is without checking my computer, my cell phone, my watch, etc.
While saying goodnight to friends last Saturday night, I made movie plans for the upcoming Independence Day holiday on Wednesday (tomorrow), totally forgetting that I still had a Sunday to watch the film.
I woke up Sunday morning at 6 a.m., and started getting ready for the gym when I realised what day it actually was. :smack:
This is not the first time I’ve lost track of what day it is.
My laptop shows it at the bottom right corner. Which is a good thing…
I’m currently working Tuesday-Thursday, but there’s a task I have to do from home on Fridays and Mondays. Last Sunday I started doing it… then the mouse hovered over the clock and I went :smack: Of course I made that up by forgetting about it on Monday.
I’ve gotta look at my phone virtually every time. I suck with this.
Years ago when I was signing stuff and dating my signature I knew it every day. Now I just try to remember one of the dates in the month and work it out from there. Like this month I have tickets for Bob Dylan on the 17th and I know that it’s a Friday as was the 3rd 10th etc. And from that obviously next month the first will be a Saturday so September is easy.
