I do the same thing at work. And people just can't believe how good a memory I have. heh, heh....I don't. I have a terrible memory. But with my little friends to help me, no one has to suffer for it.  |
Yeah, I've automated my memory too. Same thing with phone numbers. I don't remember anybody's phone number, and I don't even try. I think I can give you lurkette's cell number off the top of my head, but I've never even KNOWN StellaLuna's.
I can't think of a game I play with myself, but I have a habit of counting things. Going up or down steps, I count them, or the number of steps between the front door and the car. I count all sorts of things, and usually only notice when I hear my head going "twenty two, twenty three, twenty four..."
