Heh. It's mildly amusing to have to tell people who call me on the phone - even if for a valid reason - that anything that I need to remember has to be written down (if it's short, I'll write it down right there), so any necessary information needs to be snail or emailed to me, and _not_ told to me on the phone. I do not process auditory information very well, especially if there are lots of words with no pauses; let me read things, don't read them to me!
Gah.
Gah.
