    Getting lost while talking to someone because my mind left the chat.

    Walking back and forth to do something and forgetting what I was going to do and then switching to a new task only to find out I had to do the first thing before I could do the second thing and then maybe repeating that.

    Why is there X item, food or otherwise, in the freezer when it should be in the fridge or in a completely different room? How I learned to defrost potatoes.

    Looking at phone while watching a movie because I can’t remember the name of the movie that same actor was in 10 years ago. Surprise, we are watching that same movie.

    Where are the groceries? Damn it, these tacos made me forget to take them out of the car. I presently want tacos.

    I have no idea how long I have been preheating the oven, at least this time there wasn’t food in it. pRoGrEsS.

      Oof the walking back and forth thing.

      I think on my job i have subconsciously trained myself to not notice who noticed i just got up, sat down, got up again. Reached my hand to something. Did not grab it. Turned back to my desk but while standing, sat down again, get back up. Walked 3 steps the other way. Walked 2 steps back to grab something from desk. Walk away fully Come back to grab the first thing. Disappears for 30 minutes to do something that actually only takes 5.

      No all the people must be just as oblivious as i am and could never notice shit like this… imposter syndrome is real.
