Forgive me if I'm glazing over while you talk to me, but I checked out before you even started

Ever have one of those days where you're just struggling to keep making the appropriate acknowledgement responses?

You know, when every other sentence you distract yourself with a thought like, "I know I need to retain some of this, but what part? WHAT? crap , I missed that ..."

The Kids are telling you when the light has changed to cross or when it's your bus stop.

Co workers speak e x t r a slow and there are heavy pauses for your acknowledgement. Others are offering to buy you coffee for free.

Yeah that was today.
