Ahhh! My algebra! Where did it go?

I'll put it to you this way. In the year I spent out on co-op placement, I have forgotten more math than some people learn in a lifetime (i.e. how to integrate, and apparently some basic algebra). Needless to say I just spent close to an extra 1/2-3/4's of an hour on a problem that wasn't that hard. I hope the math comes back soon. I miss it dearly. It is kind of like missing a thumb (on your non-dominate hand).
