I remember making those lines, but they were more for a crash across the
room on the way from the 082 sorter to the 077 collator.

remember my thirty-year old cell phone number...

Use dead-tree technology of cards or paper tape.
If you use cards, put diagonal sharpie marks on the decks, to facilitate
visual re-ordering after the crash on the freeway.
