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. :-)

Yeah, I was thinking of posting something like "in 1988 I finished sixth grade and turned eleven, neither of which was all that exciting. However, given a moment to think about it, I can still name at least 20 out of the 30ish people in my sixth grade class. But I have a freakish memory, so that doesn't count.", but I decided not to.

Or maybe I did. Ha!

Now that I think about it, 1988 was also the first year I was a regular caller/poster to BBSes, often convincing people that I was in my early 20's because of my quick typing and precocious command of the english language. Sad, isn't it? I think I'll go throw this on my LJ and stop cluttering this thread.
