absent minded professor syndrome

Okay so Im pretty sick of this.

Im becoming the typical absent minded professor type person which is something I dont look forward to. I’ve always been someone who isnt really in the present at the present but you know..recently its been kinda boiling down to something i dont like..

  • three days ago I had this critical meeting with my advisor. meeting went okay, i leave the building and lose my bicycle key. next day my advisor tells me i forgot it in his room

  • next day im talking to my advisor and he asks me if the room i’ve been working in for some time has a window. i tell him it doesnt. he tells me it does. eventually it turns out that it does.

  • yesterday i go out for a walk with friends. we go out, have a nice dinner. on my way back i notice a key on pavement in the distance. i say ‘yeh meri ho gi’. and its mine.

  • i bump into stuff all the time and am about as graceful as Kramer in seinfeld when it comes to carrying my person.

  • i honestly dont have any idea about a lot of friends/relatives if they have moustaches or not.

wtf?

sound like me

Have you always been like that? Are you under a lot of stress? Important decisions you have to decide soon, etc? Could be that...

Ravage, werent you like that in high school too?? :-|
Just kidding :D

a bit of both actually. I've always been a little on the scatterbrained side, but recent days have been the worst manifestation i can remember (which actually isnt saying much).

and yes i'm under quite a bit of stress these days. maybe thats the cause of it.

over the past year and a half its increased considerably..and its been very harmful for me. i've lost my degree, all of my sister's educational docs, almost my passport and I-20 and laptop (which thankfully got recovered). Is there anything besides almonds and tayle, both of which I hate, that could stem/stop this ? and agar almonds hi to woh salted walay count karte hein?

:-o . i thought i was the only living person who remembered my less than respectable and dignified high school days :-\ . i have no idea why i was such a klutz. well maybe i have some idea. and maybe i havent changed that much after all :(

ps: fawad aya tha abt three weeks ago.. thanks for reintroducing me to the whole club

If the problem is stress, almonds or oil are not going to make it go away.

What will make it go away is a reduction of the thing that is causing the stress.

A few things I can recommend. Please check your PM tomorrow, insha'Allah.

It is 100% stress. Try to relax and ease out. After all its not the end of the world :flower2:

hang a necklace with your key on your neck.. handcuff yourself to your briefacase and carry your bike inside with you..

you'd be fine :)
