not exactly pavlovian, but whatever

I've decided to get serious about this.

I travel quite a bit. Usually on the road or in the air 2 weeks out of every month. Sometimes more.

I often forgetten the charger for my cel phone, and can safely say that since I switched my brand loyalty from Motorola to Nokia in 1998, I have purchased at LEAST 10 chargers in cities other than Seattle.

Today I forgot to pack the charger again. It's never a real hassle to find a new one, I'm just peeved at the growing junk drawer filled with stuff I really don't need. Attempts to spread my menagerie of chargers amongst all my bags and travel gear only do so much good, as I am often needing to shed weight from my bags, and assume "I've got a charger in that other bag over there." Sometimes I don't fly with that other bag.

So here is the incentive promise that I'm TOYING with making...

from now on, every time I need to purchase a new travel charger, I will buy it, and then proceed to the nearest tattoo parlour, where I will have an image of said brand new cel phone charger inked on my body.

Just like Guy Pearce in Memento, only without the brutal murders and shit. And more geeky.
