Are the extra fireworks going off now cool or super annoying...?

I do something similar. I'll reheat a cup & proceed to another 'task'. Sometime later
I'll be sitting @ the desk and then it hits me! Retrieve cup, back to desk.

I constantly microwave coffee, forget and leave it in there. Then an hour later or whatever come back and find the inside of the microwave covered in condensation.
That's why I added the parenthetical comment. But coffee disappearing into a black hole in the microwave was new.

It’s a daily occurrence here. Nothing to really be concerned about until it becomes your false teeth.

The right question asked of the right forum.
My multi-tasking days aren't yet in the rear-view mirror - they're more like in the side-view headed to the rear.

Re: Am I old? You be the judge. Date: June 27, 2020 09:31PM |
My problem is - where did I put that?
I'll be working on something and set a screwdriver, scissors, or some object down nearby, and not have any idea where I left it.
I'm at the point when I do set something down, I look at it and tell myself where it is, while looking at it, so as to actually put in in my memory.
People with HSAM, sometimes referred to as photographic memory and more correctly as eidetic memory, have the ability to recall almost if not everything they've seen or experienced.
It seems as though I have the opposite situation these days- I often have to deliberately 'clock' it to get it in memory in the first place.
Currently, outwardly, I chalk it up to being absent minded.
Internally, I wonder from time to time.
And don't get me started about 'blanking' on names...
I am that Masked Man.
All you can do, is all you can do.
There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.
Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.
Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.
I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.
We are a government of laws, not men.
Everybody counts or nobody counts.
When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.
You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.
There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.
We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive
An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.
You make me pull, I'll put you down.
I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

You are old when you put your coffee cup in the fridge, turn on the microwave, come back and find your TV remote on fire.

last week i was about to leave the house and couldn’t find my keys. i had just had them. emptied all my pockets. retraced my steps. started to get really frustrated and annoyed.
finally found them. hanging from my mouth.
no, i don’t think you’re old at all.
I have done that, but it was when I was a LOT younger, so it’s not an age thing.

"I'll be buggered. There's my glasses, right there on my face. No wonder I couldn't find them." Someone said that, can't remember who.

This. I look at it as the mental 24 megapixel camera that provided the pseudo photographic memory of my youth has been replaced with cognitive post-it notes and a whiteboard.
And I know the day is in the offing where I’ll have to break out the colored yarn and pushpins to keep the connections straight, CSI style.

Oh I just tell people flat out when I meet them that I’ll probably forget their name two or three times before it sticks. Most people laugh and say no problem.
Most.

My wife often has one cup of coffee in the microwave and another on the table beside her chair.
Maybe just trying to mask which cup contains the real stuff?

If additions to coffee in lieu of something else entirely, do you prefer sambuca or kahlua?
Hurts like a bastid...

D O H !!
OK, here's my latest...
Replacing batteries on some UPS units, swapping a larger APC from the BR to the
A/V system and the A/V's smaller one to the BR.
Pull the BR unit, replace battery & place in A/V rack. ez pz
Next the smaller unit gets a new battery & I install it on the floor behind the BR TV cart.
Wait, why are some of the cords not reaching?? <really scratching head>
Doh! Because I forgot that fast, the UPS should be on the bottom shelf of the cart,
NOT on the efffin floor!
