"it's the opposite of the way you'd expect it to be."
Today, I was getting the cable to connect my camera to my laptop to download a couple of photos. There are two cables:
-- the big, fat one (that connects the little, skinny digital point-and-shoot), and
-- the little, skinny one (that connects my big, honkin' SLR).
So I had a mnemonic -- the big cable connects the little camera, and vice versa.
How long do you think it took before the mnemonic reversed itself? Until today, when I went into my office, and retrieved the small, skinny cable to use with my small camera.
I got halfway down the hall, when my brain said, "Hey, Wait a minute. You're taking the small, skinny cable to use with the small, skinny camera."
So I checked the little sticky-note label I had attached, and, sure enough, I had the wrong one.
Much better.....sticky notes.
