How good is your memory?

The boss just pop into my cubicle and asked me about some case I worked on back in late December 2007/early January 2008. He look shocked as I told him I don't remember the details and I would have to look through my files.....

Honest, I can't even remember what I ate during dinner last night. How can people expect others to remember minute details about some finished project from 4 months ago?

    I get this all the time, people ask me about problems we had last summer, and I just shrug my shoulders and say I vaguely remember it but have no idea what came of it.

    I blame the internet.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    At work, I can remember details from cases going way back. At home, if my girlfriend tells me something its one ear and out the other. However, sometimes I think she just says she said something when she really didn't.

    I'd put my long-term memory up against anybody. My short-term memory is for the birds.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Can't remember numbers, phone, prices, specifications.

    Can't remember where I put stuff.

    I can remember funny stuff really well, and certain visual stuff.

    If I was somewhere once I could find it again 5 years later.

    weird how the brain works

    My wife often ask, "How the hell do you remember so much", so I guess my memory is pretty good.

    I'm badass with numbers....phone numbers, service call numbers...etc. If someone flashes a credit card in front of me I can remember all 4 sets of numbers in seconds. It's bad I know, but it's crazy how I can remember numbers.....especially if someone else is dictating them to someone.


    Anything else...forget it. I can't even remember what I did today.

    I get that all the time asking about cars that I've worked on the week prior...unless it was something big or off the wall, I usually reply with "I cant even remember what I ate for breakfast today, how do you expect me to remember that?"

    And usually, if I do actually eat breakfast, I'm telling the truth.
