My girlfriend and I are medium distance (she lives in a city about an hour and a half away from me, I visit her on weekends) but she'll be moving to a different state (to Florida from Maryland) for financial reasons (eg just graduated, but wasn't able to find a job/apartment soon enough).

I have trouble remembering things that are not directly in front of me, and this extends to loved ones, and this has been an issue in our relationship multiple times so far. I'll sometimes spend a whole day without contacting her or communicating, and not because I don't care or don't want to, it just doesn't occur to me that I should until the end of the day when she texts me like "are we good?".

How do I get around this? I don't wanna be the kind of person that blames everything in their life on a mental illness, but I'm starting to see how this condition has influenced so many aspects of my life, and I want at least this one thing to work out without feeling like pulling teeth

I read this book probably 10+ years ago, I don't remember much other than that it involved an all knowing algorithm that tried to predict every single thing you'd buy, and there was a scene where the main characters went into a store and asked for the most random bs to throw off the algorithm. I think it's a pretty well known book, in the sci-fi genre at least

I just lost my job (working with foster families) due to the government not passing a budget yet, so I'm looking for anything in the area that's hiring. I already work evenings at a warehouse, and am open to anything warehouse related, or entry level office positions. I have a few credits left and then I'll have a bachelor's, so I don't have tons of options at the moment, but if anyone knows of anything I'm more than grateful to hear about it
