Had a couple of little "incidents" lately that caught me off-guard. Just little, mundane, everyday things that went slightly skewiff and lost any sense of protocol. The first was the other day when I went for a shave. I picked up the razor and the head was already off, but it stopped me in my tracks for a second, like one of those moments of clarity, but it was a moment of stupidity. It was like I was unsure what to do next - my brain says to remove the head, but there wasn't one on the razor. That's all it took to make me stop and think for a second.

The other happened today, and it had an extra human element. I was about to open the door to get the milk in, when a delivery man knocked. My hand was on the handle, but the man hadn't seen me about to open the door, and I hadn't seen him. There was a sudden lapse of concentration, and even though I was about to open the door, I still took a longer pause than I should have. Somehow, the process of ringing, looking (or waiting, depending on your perspective) and opening skipped a stage, leaving us both a bit confused. He rang, door opened - what happened to waiting!? It was simple, but it threw us both. It was only a Yellow Pages anyway, so he won't be back for a year, and I might not be in then.

I know what you mean mate, It's probably something to do with routine tasks being interrupted, thus making your brain work harder to solve the problem.

It's spending so much time on these forums. It leeches something out of you in a kinda twilight way. Especially weird as you've left, I know you did, I've already said bye.

Haven't I?
Did I?
Was it a dream?
