In hindsight, the solution was obvious. I'm not sure why I didn't see it at the time, but then again who does? I suppose that's why they say 'hindsight's always 20/20'. Perfect vision. I can't say that I've ever really had a knack for figuring things out on the spot, on the fly, with no real time to think about it. I'm a 'processer'. I like to process things, take my time, really think things through. Unfortunately, that doesn't always work to my advantage.

There are situations in life when you just have to come up with an answer, lightning fast, no time to think about it. Saying the first thing that comes to mind doesn't work all the time either. That's usually the wrong answer.

This is going to bother me for a long time, I really can't believe that I couldn't just get it right. It was so obvious. It always is when you look back on it. Like when you lose something, and when you finally find it you somehow remember exactly when and why it ended up there?

I hate that.
