Brain GLITCH is more like it

So I punched in yesterday (Sunday) and did my four-hour shift.

Four hours later, I went to punch out ...
... and I could not, for the life of me, remember my employee number.

I ended up simply writing my "quit" time on the paper that we normally use to keep track of people going home early or staying late.

I was positive my employee number was written in a tiny notebook that I had taken home and left there.

It might have been ... but it's not in there now.

Embarrassing though it is, I'm going to have to call the store (probably the day before my next shift) and ask somebody to look up the damn thing for me.

And then add it to the memos on my cellphone.

AND put it somewhere else (my work locker, for example) just in case the phone goes *poof*.

When you're young, you write your crib notes on your arms. Old, you tattoo on all your personal information!

When I used it every day, I had no trouble remembering all the different codes I needed at work - alarm, safe (which changed at least monthly), other alarm in case I was being coerced, site ID, various phone numbers... When I had more than a week off, I'd have to go back and check my notes every time. Forgetting it between the start and end of a shift? I salute you!

I'm gonna pass on that. That's a great way to have irrelevant info left on your hide LONG after you want to look at it.

Thank you ... I think ...

At least I won't have to further embarrass myself by having a supervisor look it up on my next shift. Last night I thought "Hmm ... I wonder if I can find it under my profile on [Company Website]."

Sure enough ... there it was.

It's now entered into my cellphone AND written down in the ragged little notebook that I plan to keep at work for however long I stay there.

I had to put Password Lock on my phone (it's a password-storage app). Not for my passwords, mind you. For my kids' locker codes, for my parents' health card numbers, etc.
