Scatterbrainedness: A most annoying trait
I’ve mentioned on prior occasions that I’m quite the scatterbrain. I’ll get up to fetch a glass of water, get distracted by someone else needing a fork, and then sit back down only to realize I still need a glass of water. Remotes get misplaced in the stupidest places because I set them down on my way to get something else. It’s very annoying, but mostly harmless.
I set a new standard for scatterbrainedness this weekend. I was trying out a new hair salon to get a haircut. The only parking available was metered parking on the street. I made a mental note to myself to drop a few coins in the meter as I searched for the salon. I was seven minutes late for my appointment (I HATE being late for appointments, but it’s not my fault I had to wait for people). I finally found it and was happy that it didn’t look scary. Yay for not scary! So I hopped out of the car and went in.
You know what I forgot, right? The thought never even crossed my mind once, not even briefly, during the hour and a half I was in there. I came out and found a ticket on my windshield. Crap. Mental notes suck. I need mental post-its or something.
