I have to add in something to a sequence. It takes my system 25 seconds to process each request. ANd I can only request one addition at a time. I need to request 44 additions. ARRRRGGGHHH.

She even told us she'd never duplicate an outfit during the semester to make this easier for us.

First thought in my mind was, she must have had a very, very large wardrobe.

I think she counted different ensembles as different outfits. But yeah, she had a big variety of clothes.

I kinda' had a crush on her.

That wardrobe thing is awesome. I always did better at events in remembering people if I took note of their outfits. And I can only remember dates of past events if I remember what I was wearing.

Interesting. What I or other people wore comes in useful for details at the event itself, but unless the date was displayed there, it wouldn't really be helped much.

Oh, I remember something else about my psych prof. She would divide each lecture into topis, and for each topic she'd stand in a different place.

I have a very good memory for clothes, but then, it is part of my job. I usually remember costume plots by holding each piece of the costume in my hand, in order, while reading the written out list. I can usually memorize a normal size show after doing that once. Other things, not so much, although I can do props that way, too.

My students think it is craxy that I can do a costume check in after the show without a list, for the most part. I kind of think it is weird that they still need a list after, like the whole run of the show.

Man, I never remember clothes, mine or anyone else's. Except for a very few particular times/outfits. Good thing most of my clothes are boring, because now I'm paranoid about other people noticing how often I repeat stuff!

Thinking about memory, though -- someone at work was giving me the "touch things only once" shpiel about email, and I was thinking about it, and the truth is, it's good for me to go through most of my emails more than once, because I'm expected to know a ton of stuff in my head, and that's how most of it gets there. If I read the email and file it immediately (even after acting on it), I'll never remember that it got done.

Huh, Bravo acquired TWoP. [link]

Maybe they won't have those atrocious Yahoo ads anymore.

You have everything in your head and it's stressing you out! You need the David Allen GTD book. Or try using flags in outlook, that's how I keep track of outstanding requests.
