If I had learned education I would not have had time to learn anything else.

Does anyone know what generation it was that women started to call the guys. Give up it was during the seventies when I was a teenager and pregnancies were on the rise. That is when we drove our mothers crazy.

That’s very true that if you remember someone’s name and say it during a conversation they feel like you care. (or at least it does for me) The other day this guy kept saying my name every time he saw me, but I couldnt remember his. So I used David’s method of using nicknames. Thx! hehe

By the by, should we worry about “Necro” or am I reading too much into that name?

Thanks David. I feel a lot better now – I remember either the name or the face but rarely both. But I remember conversations and their subject content. I learned more on every job by listening to others talking than I did during formal training. I always knew what was happening and why and no one could figure it out why I knew things that were none of my business or outside of my job responsibility – until I explained that I can’t mentally shut out other noise like most people can, so I mentally sort out what I do hear and ‘file it away.’ I love listening to people’s personal stories – and if they repeat what someone actually said to them and addressed them by name, their name WILL stick – it’s weird, I know. But it works like a champ. And this blog is like the written version.
