Feb. 18th, 2008 02:29 pmLet's just say you were supposed to buy tickets for something, and you forgot. When you finally remembered (at a time that wasn't during a meeting or while on the subway), would you,
a) rush to the computer and buy the tickets right away, being thankful that you finally remembered, or
b) panic over the fact that the tickets might now all be sold out, and therefore avoid doing anything about it for the next three days, while fretting the whole time?
OH BRAIN.
This is clearly the same part of my cortex that prevents me from opening right away any new technology I buy, because I might not be able to figure out how to use it, and rather than discovering that immediately, I prefer to worry about the possibility for a week.
