I was out helping a friend look for a lost dog all day on saturday, and so I bought a stick of beef jerky from the corner store in case I needed it to lure the dog, and stuck it in my pocket. I don't normally keep much in pockets, usually just my phone. I did not check my pockets before doing laundry.
But what really gets me is — now I can't find the beef jerky! It's not in there! I checked the pockets of every single pair of skirtpants I had in the wash. I have no idea what could possibly have happened to it because I have zero memory of taking it out and putting it somewhere. So now the question is: WTF happened to the jerky?? Is it hiding somewhere in my house?? Maybe I'll find out in like 6 months.
(btw, we found the dog!! I wasn't the one to find her but some strangers managed to get her into a fenced in basketball court and put it on the local facebook forum thing, and another friend was scouring the internet resources. Doggo is safely back at home, only gone for a few hours. We're all very relieved. Plus I got to bike around in the rain all day in unfamiliar parts of the neighborhood which was genuinely really great)
When I'm making a new password for my manager I will actually write it down on paper, then type it over and over again until I can type it from memory, and then practice that every now and then (and if I'm not feeling sure, I'd probably make sure my password manager asks me for it every time and that I use my password manager often enough to keep training it)
But like, that's enough for my brain, and I'm not you. I wish you luck in finding a system that works!
