where was i?

Every now and then when I'm entering data, I find that my eyes have come unfocused, and I've been thinking about something (I rarely remember what) for some unknown amount of time.

I read what's on the screen, but I don't recognize it. I don't read this stuff, I just type it.

So I scroll to the bottom of the list and find that yes, two or three or five minutes ago, before I started thinking about what I'd make for dinner or the book I'm reading or the tone of that email I just received, I did enter that project.

I'm hoping it's just extreme boredom and not some slow mental decay that's causing me, more than once a day, to find myself staring at a corner of my screen, unaware of what I've just been doing or thinking.

  2. Same thing happens to me Kiki. I'm suddenly walking towards my office and I stop and think, "what am I doing? What was I doing, and what was I about to go do?" Then I laugh and try to keep myself from buying sugar cookies. 2 for a dollar don't ya know?

    You can guess what happens from there.
