I have really good memory for random facts or anecdotes. Want to know the code names of all operations of WW2? Got them. Name of the lookout that spotted the iceberg on the Titanic? Know it. Number of cannons aboard HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar? Yep. Mozart's stage directions for Don Giovanni? Sure.
But... What's the name of the coworker I have known for almost a year or where did I leave my keys? No clue...

I can sing embarrassingly well but I'm self-conscious and cherish my anonymity. Even my fella doesn't know how well I can sing. I don't think I'll ever make money from it and I would never sing in public. I would shake with nerves but when I have free time, with the windows closed so the neighbours can't hear me, I go...to town!

I took photography during my last semester in college, so now I can develop film and make photo prints. Problem is, I no longer have access to the campus darkroom, any of the materials, or chemicals. Shame too, seeing as I was apparently the stand out student and often used as the example for well made prints. Besides, in a world of digital photography, who's going to justify paying $10 for one roll of black and white film?

I got my Masters in Clinical Social Work, with a 4.0 average, a few years ago. I was in my early 60's, and not one agency within 4 states, would even give me a job interview. They all required me to reveal when I got my first college degree and that 1970's date sent my app straight to the black hole. There is a desperate need for therapists in this country but age discrimination is much stronger than the public interest. Many older adults are in a similar position and their years of skills are being wasted due to stereotyping and other factors. There is almost no enforceable legal remedy for this form of discrimination.

I’m ambidextrous, which in itself can be sorta useful: It doesn’t matter whether the mouse is or left or right side of the keyboard for example, and back when I worked as a teacher kids found it funny that I started writing with my left hand and continued with the right on the chalkboard. Anyway, as the world is mainly set up for right-handed people, I quietly pretend being one myself, as well.
