This morning I was walking to the bus stop and I was halfway there when I realized I was wearing two different shoes: one with a heel and one without.
Yep, that's right, I walked a block didn't notice that each half of my body was at a different height. It was like when you drive somewhere and when you arrive at your destination you can't remember any part of the drive.
Numerous and varied studies have shown that we often don't pay quality attention to the things around us. Whenever I read one of those studies, my first thought is, "Sure, maybe that happens to other people, but not me! I always know what's going on around me!" I guess I have to revise my self-assessment.
I know this much: I better start paying attention when I'm getting dressed or tomorrow I might show up at work with my pants on backwards.
