You have Memory!

I moved into my current work department about a year and a quarter ago. I have a habit of humming or making noise when I’m thinking and I made a conscious effort to stop that when going into this department as I would be around people much more often and I didn’t want to annoy anyone. On and off for the first few months, I had a habit of humming a specific song to myself. I didn’t notice it at first and then I realized it was a real song and not some ideal tune that I was generating on the fly. I grew annoyed once I realized what the song was: ‘If I only had a brain’ from the Wizard of Oz.

I’m not sure why that memory popped back into my head today but it did. It’s the sort of thing that keeps you humble.
