Now that's some memory! Mine isn't that good. I have a darned good
memory for technical details, but it's typically selective. So I
remember the formula for the volume of a cone, which I've never used,
but I misremember the release schedule for versions of ColdFusion. ;) 

In my case in particular, my skills are fairly slanted toward the
technical, meaning that my people skills are rusty. Just means I have to
work harder at them, but at least now I know why and I've been able to
find some books that I think are really helping me to shore up my
challenge areas. Just finished reading Words that Work, Crucial
Conversations, Influencer, Carol Dweck's Mindset and a few others this
year. And boy let me tell you, there are things in there I wish I'd
known when I presentated at cf.Objective a few years ago. :)

Maybe we missed our calling. ;)
