I've discovered something
*Points up* The date is wrong. I posted this originally at around noon, January 16th on a Monday. I've checked all my settings and they're right. That's just.. very weird...
I don't know how every person's brain works. When you're given information, do you hear what someone is saying and store it for later, to bring a playback of the conversation word for word? I used to think that was what was wrong with me. I didn't always do a playback of -sounds- in my head. Yes, I hear my thoughts, I think words in my mind, (Wow, God is just amazing!) I can hear my own voice in my head.
But. When you talk to me, tell me things, I realized why I don't always answer right away. It came to me when I was on the phone with Diane the other day, and I apologized to her and said, "I'm not bored and I don't mean to be rude, but everything you're telling me, I'm replaying in my head as if it were a movie." She was releaved, because she thought she had been boring me, because I was taking so long to answer her.
I just guess that the realization of something I was already somewhat aware of and comfortable with, was why I seem so slow.
I'm not stupid in any means. And by slow, I don't mean slow witted. I've just learned, that when you feed me a large amount of information, instead of thinking about what I've been told, I replay it back in my imaginations theatre. Box seats and free snacks and pop, too. ;) Now I know that when I have to work something out, I have to actually see it. I'm not good with words in my head or spoken from my mouth, but if I use images, then it helps.
So, to everyone I've offended by being slow to answer, I apologize, but I just figured out -why-. If that makes any sense.
LoL

I remember written things the way you do spoken. Sometimes whole pages scroll back through my mind and my mental voice is reading them to me as they do. This is why I never forget a book or article I read but I have an awful time remembering things I have heard. I also have trouble paying attention when people speak to me on the phone so I think they think I'm bored or not interested, but the truth is the stuff going on in my head just get int he way and keep me from actually processing the words I am hearing with my ears. I often forget what I've heard even before the caller is finished saying it. That is not a good trait, especially at work, but maybe that's why I hate the phone.
