When I was a public school teacher in Baltimore (ten years later, I still start so many of my sentences this way), I would have days that were completely insane. One of my many responsibilities was to call parents to discuss behavior issues at the end of the day. I realized at some point that I was literally forgetting what happened. I took anecdotal notes to be able to accurately describe behavioral situations, and rereading them mere hours later, I couldn't actually autibiographically recall many of these incidents. I think it's what allowed me to have normalish evenings after insane work days. Otherwise, the stress would be completely overwhelming.
