My roommate informed me today that I am very practical after I mentioned how I was going to leave my earplugs at work. I asked her what she meant. She just said that I think through things. (like leaving earplugs at work when the dogs are super loud when they bark and it echoes off the walls? Hmm, I guess so.)
