What's my number?

[bhskittykatt]

I realized that I had forgotten to put in some paid time off for one of my employees after I submitted payroll, and so I had to call the Payroll Dept for them to fix it. (I've been really burned out lately, and have been forgetting everything.)

Payroll rep: "And what's you employee ID number?"
(Note: I use this number almost every single day. It's like forgetting a PIN number for a bank card.)
Me: "Um....hang on....hold it....I think I'm having one of those stupid brain fart moments...gimme a sec...oh God I know I know it..." *fumbles around to find some paper with my number on it*
Payroll: "Yeah, it's still early. Just take your time"
Me:

This is crazy, but what's my number?

What I hate is when I can put in my employee id number into my scanner and then stare at it and start questioning myself on what I just entered.

I always blame it on lack of coffee. Doesn't matter how much I've had, I just say, oops, can't think til I've had my daily coffee. Covers temporary amnesia, typos, and a world of other dumb things. Gains sympathy from most, and a laugh from others.

For a little while, I had myself convinced that Saturday was Friday. I had to check my phone to make sure.

It was real bad in grad school. We'd get so tired we were lucky to remember our own names.

Ohhh, this. So much this. But with all numbers.

[Sparky]

I have to use a code number to make long distance phone calls.

I have no idea what that number is. When I'm staring at the phone I know, but no other time.

I am not alone in this.

That's my line for everything.

Of course, now when I have to call the Helpless Desk, I'm asked for my employee number.

I now have done this so many times now that I don't even have to look at my notes app on the phone . . . . I now have it committed to memory.

Now if I could just learn to not get my passwords mixed up due to having 2 user ID's for the handhelds now . . .

In my [Black]'Berry.

And he was so close!

I forget things like this all the time.

I've actually resorted to putting my hands on a surface and making the motions to type things out just so I could remember what they were.

I used to have to do this all the time at work, for computer commands (way back before Windows & mice). Some of them were so ingrained, if someone asked me how to do a particular thing, I had to "fake type" it to remember what it was I typed to do it

For the first time in 22 years, I did not forget the copy code over summer break this year.

I went in to copy first day handouts yesterday, and I actually remembered the current code! I usually remember the code from 15 years ago, but not the current one. (the old one was ******)

[Lovecats]

I couldn't tell you the number of times that I've stood at the timeclock at work to punch in or out (usually out when I'm really, really tired) and had a mental block on some part of my number or all of it.
