I remember the fax number for a logistics office in France from a summer job I had in 2002, but not the names of my (rather nice) colleagues.
And by colleagues you don’t mean the ones you had in 2002 but your current ones.
I truly do struggle to recall specifics from yesterday or sometimes earlier today, considerably so when it comes to work. I’ll be asked how work went and I usually just say “Eh, it was worky.”, because I honestly have no fucking clue. I’ve retained a rough outline of the day. About 20% of it at best. Was that yesterday? Was that today? I have to commit a lot of extra brainpower to recall conversations I had with co-workers (unless they were out of the ordinary or confrontational). I suspect it’s due to the monotony of a full-time job, but maybe I have a tumor.
I think it’s just daily routine stuff your brain can’t be bothered to remember, makes sense to me. I relate.
I didn’t get enough sleep the other day, and I legit couldn’t remember what I had for lunch a few hours earlier. Doesn’t help I was drinking the night before.

Yesterday? Shit I have problems recalling specifics from a movie that I just finished watching five seconds ago.
