Ha, I am working from home today and just ran downstairs to get a few new batteries for my mouse.
By the time I got down there I completely forgot why I even went down, so I got a drink and came back up only to see the red flashing battery light on the mouse.
I had a TIA a few years ago and it effected my short term memory fairly substantially and gave me mild dyslexia. I was told I got lucky that's all it did.
