I’m not ditzy, I’m just forgetful. Or so I say. haha.

Yesterday I went to work an hour early to avoid confusion over my new schedule. Time changes don’t really agree with me because I have the tendency to get confused easily same as how I still get confused with which is left and which is right.

I thought I’ll be okay, I was in my new station, checking my mail and just waiting for the clock to struck :29 so I can log in. It was colder than usual but I didn’t mind, I was thinking of some numbers, mentally calculating how I’ll spend my salary the next day, vacillating between saving for a camera and a last round of shopping in Cubao’s various thrift shops.

Before I knew it, it was already 9:28 and I had to log in. My fingers were hovering on the dials, anticipating 29, raring to punch in the numbers, when bam! My mind just went blank, as if all wheels came to a screeching, breaking halt:  I can’t remember my log in information.

I was panicking already, my face was beet red, and I was scrambling, trying to remember the two sets of numbers I’ve been using for over 5 months now. Numbers were flashing in my brain and it was funny because I could remember all the numbers–from my home address, our apartment’s phone no., our number at home, my student number in UP, but I couldn’t for the life of me remember my log in information.

It was in there somewhere, locked in a compartment in the deep recesses of my brain. I was desperate, my office mates were ragging on me, laughing, and teasing me for being forgetful. It was embarrassing and I wanted to disappear but I had to remember, or else I’ll be dead.

After three harrowing minutes a lightbulb finally lit up in my head, I could almost hear the wheels churning, and there was my log in information in big, bold, and flashy numbers, thank god. I punched in the numbers then leaned back in my chair and let out a big sigh of relief. But damn, I came in an hour early for work and still I will be tagged as late because I forgot my log in information for 3 freaking minutes. Damn it.
