God, I feel stupid
Aug. 23rd, 2004 10:54 amI had to borrow a book from the reference room. No problem, right?
I couldn't remember the title of the book.
I couldn't remember my professor's name.
So I took a substitute. Halfway in, I realize I know the title of the book after all (Heart of Mathematics, and let me tell you that book is a prime candidate to be slammed at The Textbook League, link forthcoming). So I go up and ask for it. Sit back down. After reading this book (which, may I say, is full with needless 3-d pictures. If you don't pay an extra $10 for the 3-d glasses, you can't see the pictures), I go up to return it and recover my ID.
Person at counter: What's your name?
Me: Uh....
*groans*
I knew I was bad with names, but this is ridiculous.
