I think it's funny that I'll come home from work and when asked "What happened at work today?" I'll answer "nothing", but then tell a few stories about what happened at work later on in the night as other things remind me of them.
i had to know the right questions to ask my wife because we both do the same thing. "which student threw up today" or "who got in a fight with who" tend to elicit the right memories from her workday. we haven't figured out the right ones from mine yet.
Bro it's like the silence that ensues when people ask you about your hobbies
You know, things and stuff.
I used to work a job wherein I had to record a log of my daily activities, but they took me all around the place and the log wasn't a physical item so I couldn't really write down everything as it happened.
Often I would struggle to remember enough even to populate the five daily entries we were expected to fill out.
Once I shamefacedly brought this up to the "rock star" of the team who was held to lower standards, reporting wise, because he got results. I was greatly gratified when he said that sometimes he just logged "I don't remember" for some activities.
I’ve usually got a long list of things I either want to delete, or I have excitedly finally gotten to delete.
Deleting other people’s shitty code is my favourite thing. The guy before me left a lot of code to delete.
