Warning: brain on overload...



I thought I was doing pretty well yesterday. We arrived at the surgeon's office at about 10:30, and I was checking in with the receptionist while Dave found a seat and settled in to grade some chemistry homework. At the counter, the receptionist was making sure the information she had in her computer about me was correct.

"Your primary care physician is Dr. Matt Fay?" she asked.

"Yes," I replied.

"And I have two phone numbers here: 672-2732 and 670-6644?"

I was puzzled.

"I have no idea what his phone numbers are," I replied.

She gave me a strange look from behind her computer. Then it hit me. Those were MY phone numbers. I hadn't recognized them. Quickly I told her yes, those were my phone numbers, and I was sorry. Even though it was morning, it had already been a long day. I went and sat next to Dave, and had to laugh at myself. I guess the stress is taking a toll even when I think I'm doing pretty well.

I think it's a good thing somebody else is teaching my classes for a few weeks...
