This. People assume since I have an engineering degree that I should be able to rattle off mental math like rough ridin' good will hunting.

Yup, got an a on every math class I've ever taken, but it takes me 30 seconds to total a 5 dollar tip on an 18 dollar tab.

I rough ridin' dominate mental math. Sadly, my hand writing is so poor even I can't read it sometimes.

Mental math is fairly easy until the pressure is on.

remembering names. even during movies sometimes i have to keep imdb open so i can be sure i know who a character is talking about.

the thing is, i'm absolutely fantastic at remembering faces.

Not sure if I'm just lazy or what but if I'm being introduced to a group of people, I will have forgotten the first persons name by the time I meet the last person. I've known dudes for years and still can't remember their name.

Forgetting to take the trash out, then asking Mrs. Bones why she didn't remember to do it. :embarrassed:

I'm the opposite. Can't remember faces to save my life. Everyone pretty much looks the same to me. But if they're like "remember, we talked last Sunday?" I'll be like "Oh yeah, Paul. Of course I remember you."

I do have people come up to me on the reg and they're all " Hey, Jtksu, how's it going?"  and I'm all "Good to see you... buddy."   But that's usually people I met while boozing.

Sure, it's just weird that I can still remember their name but not their face.

Start thinking about your position in relation to BSFS and its layout.  Should help. :driving:

not drinking alcohol. I sometimes tell myself I'm not having any until some arbitrary date and inevitably I have some before that. seems like I should be able to wait longer.

I am very terrible at backing my car in a straight line for any distance. Great at parallel parking though.
