A bit of correlation analysis between the questions in my recent LJ poll said that, slightly to my surprise, the number of people who thought they were better at remembering to do things compared to the general standard they ascribe to other people was exactly the same as the number who thought they were worse. I was expecting this to be the sort of question where most people think they're above average (as is often claimed about driving), but failing that I'd at least have expected some sort of correlation. Gosh.

I managed to cut a finger last night on a plastic saucepan handle while washing up. I'm still not entirely sure how it happened. However, I've learned a new respect for my left ring finger; trying to avoid using it for the rest of the evening made computer use very awkward. It seems to do all the nearly-unconscious parts of my typing style.

One morning years ago I happened to wake up half an hour early and then realised it was election day, so I got up and went to vote on the basis that it was something useful to do with the extra half-hour in my day and then I wouldn't have to remember to do it later. My subconscious must have thought that was a good idea, because I've woken up early on election days more often than not since.

The polling station this morning handed me an EU ballot paper literally as long as my arm. Might have been nicer if they'd also provided voting booths containing tables big enough to hold it!
