Does anyone else not bother to remember what day of the month it is? I can remember what day of the week it is, and what month it is, but ask me to number the day it is today and I can't... I was once being screened for concussion when I hit my head while snowboarding. I could answer everything but the day's date. My answer was: I don't bother to remember what the date is, so I couldn't tell you, but I can tell you it is (insert day of the week). Memorizing dates almost failed me in highschool history.

Same here, I'm crap at this, I've never bothered with it, my phone and computer tell me the dates just fine.

I always have to look it up or ask. But I thought lots of people did that.

I don't think it's unusual to lose track of the date :) In jobs I've had in the past, when I've needed clients to sign and date forms, the vast majority of them needed to be reminded what day of the month it is.

It's Wednesday today, right?

The only way I remember the day is from what's on TV.
