You do need a couple of things to pull such a thing off. The first is a tech services department to do whatever cataloging and such that needs to be done. (most stuff comes already cataloged.) Of course when you are having trouble finding something you can blame it on how these catalogers think.... That happens much less often now that everything is automated and you can play with key words and such.
The other thing you need is to be too smart for your own good. I always keep things in my head. This was great for thirty years or so before my head became a less reliable depository for facts. Used to be able to memorize credit card numbers. Now I feel fortunate to remember my zip code! Not that I'm old (yeah, sure) but I did have those ministrokes in 2002. i can blame those....

hmmmm, think you're describing organized kaos here!
lol oh I know how cataloguers think
! My supervisor and I had such fine memories...we knew where everything was without having to look it up on the pc ;p. But these days, I'd probably find that my rote memory is no longer anything to brag about. 10 years ago, waitressing -I could take up a table of up to 6 orders (drinks, appetizers and entrees) without having to write it down.
I've never memorized cc #'s though!! But I think you're being too hard on yourself because technology has made that a less-needed thing to do anyway. You have enough on your plate with what you've been through. My memory (and many other things) has definetly improved with resolving the low glucose and adrenal stuff so I feel very fortunate!
Hope you're doing well!!! I'm on what I hope is my last hurdle for getting well again -next week I'm back to the allergist for food allergy testing. Today, I stopped by the health food grocer and the store owner spent a lot of time helping me find some different things I can eat. I had started skipping breakfast again because I'm so sick of eggs (and no toast!!
). So now I have organic tapioca for a breakfast choice
.
But now, it's dinnertime! A baked sweet potatoe w/Greek yogurt
