I’ve just started a new job with a lot of onboarding and my new coworker said “Now you know all of the things! I’ll direct everyone your way!” He was really confused when I tried to explain to him that yes, my hard drive has written all of the information I’ve heard, but my file system is shit so I’ll probably never see it again.

lol, I like that way of explaining it. My boss and I had a chat once about how our brains work. She said hers is like a parking lot, she can just park an idea and then come back to it when she wants. I said mine is more like a malfunctioning bag of holding. All the info goes in but when you reach in to grab it most of the time it’s not at all what you went in for.
