Oh, my short-term memory is shit most of the time. Have you noticed I can never remember our set list no matter how often we play?
I lost a lot of short-term memory capacity about four years ago and never really regained it. Such is the price of being teh crazy and taking anticonvulsants to keep myself sane.
I've found ways around it, mind you. I post reminders to myself by email, I write things down obsessively, etc. However, there are always things that slip through the cracks, which annoys me to no end.
I used to have an incredible memory. I had my schedules memorized for months ahead, I knew everyone's phone numbers, and I had no trouble making last-minute mental changes. It's incredibly frustrating to not be able to do that anymore.
