Oh, my, that just happened to me, but in reverse yesterday (sunday).
i just started a new Saturday-only job and last Saturday was my second day. Met another co-worker, who i apparently have met before although not perhaps by name, when the DH and i were shopping at the store. (It's the local needlecraft shop.) i spent an extremely busy 9 hours with her Saturday. Yesterday, Sunday -- the day after i'd met her! -- the DH and i were shopping at our co-op for dinner fixings when he says "hi!" to a young woman. She looks vaguely familiar, so i smile and also say hi, and continue to bag up the stuff. She comments she just got off work; i say a generic, "O, wow," in a commiserating tone; i'm still trying to place her. DH asks her if it were busy again -- at which point i realise she's the co-worker i'd just met the day before. Then i realise i couldn't remember her name. i can recognise her if i concentrate and think "needlecraft shop", but just looking at her, she still just looks vaguely familiar. That happens so often it drives me insane! Erin,
You're welcome. And...I'm TRYING to stay warm but it won't quit being winter here! Ugh. Terry Great story - I laughed out loud! And yes, I have done this too. Recently while in a car with a couple women - mothers of wrestling peers of my son's - I waved at a person in another car because it looked like So-and-So. They both laughed when I realized it wasn't that person at all. I've had the good fortune to work with and sit at wrestling tournaments with people/fellow parents who take all my add-isms with good humor! Knowing that I am often late to wrestling meets, etc., when my son advanced to sectionals, and for the previous week's regionals, dear friends who knew me offered to drive me to each of those events. They were a god-send! I didn't miss my son's matches and I didn't get lost. And I left on time. Gotta luv these people who like you despite all your idiosyncracies!
