Where's your notepad ?

Being the smartass i am ...i always shirk away from taking notes so as to devote my full attention to thinking and processing info when im listening ...most of the times this works great for me as i am able to create the smart ass impression by coming up with insights and meaningful question ....but sometimes i also stumble about the issue when i have to really pull back all that went through during the last meeting ...despite looking like a dork ...i think its better i start carryin a note pad along ...works great to scribble and scratch caricatures when the meetings are boring :D !
