Numbers

How many numbers are in your head? Phone #'s, pin #'s, dates, bills, addresses, and who knows what else. Everyone has a set number of things that they must use almost everyday. Whether for work, school, or home. I have to use numbers and math all day while at work. Remembering phone extensions, screen numbers, counting, recounting, adding, multiplying, and a whole lot more. At the same time in my mind I have measurements, requirements, quantities, sizes, and a bunch of other construction related #'s rattling around in there. Then on a hobby side there are numerous other things. Restrictions, formats, points, and $ values. They told us in school we would need to remember this stuff later in life and we all scoffed at them. Granted I might not need to remember it all, most of it is by personal choice, and there are things we cannot forget no matter how hard we try. 2989NN, that's a license plate I was jokingly told to remember one day. That was like fifteen years ago. And in highschool I also learned that every can of Spaghetti-O's has 1750 O's. I wish I could forget these things so I could make room to remember my anniversary.
