We got a new CFO today. When her predecessor (now VP of business dev) introduced us, the new CFO said "oh, I know Monica". Err, umm, ack... I felt embarrassed because while she looked kind of familiar I could just *not* place her (and probably lots of people look kind of familiar who aren't really). But then she went on: "you were at CGI, weren't you?".

Yes, I was. I left in 1988.

Ok, how many of you still clearly remember the people you worked with in 1988 (you young'ns can skip this question), especially those who were *not* your day-to-day coworkers? I mean, it's not like Robin was another engineer I worked with all the time; she was probably one of the accountants or something. I don't remember.

I've always been bad with names and faces, but somehow I don't think this one reflects that badly on me. :-)

Like Fianna, I'm a semi-young'un...I also graduated high school that year.

But, I might or might not recognize people from that long ago. It would depend on how closely we worked together, phase of the moon and my general level of sleep... :-)

Lori, do I know you?
Speaking of faces/names and other oddities...

Lori needs to provide an LJ mug shot. :-)

Lori used to be in the SCA (her name is Marilee). She was the local dance mistress for a couple of years about a decade ago, give or take. (Lori, you'll have to correct me here.) She's not active in the SCA now, and I can't remember whether the two of you overlapped back then.

Ah, yes, we overlapped, but I wasn't Fianna then, I was (yet another) Elspeth.

Ooops...meant to say this in my last post:

Hi :-) We probably did know each other at least a little...

I do need a mug shot...it's on my list of things to do :-)

You've got it as right as I would've. I was defintely dancemistress in 1991, 1992 and 1993...I really can't remember when I quit -- I think it was summer 1994.

I find it hard to believe that was now a decade ago, but it was. Sheesh. ;-)
