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. :-)

Monica, I probably count as a "young un" because that was my senior year of High School, but I don't remember everyone in my graduating class (there were a little over 130 of us). If I didn't hang out with you or have class with you, I probably don't remember your name or your face.

I think that there is special dispensation for not knowing stuff like that after nearly 13 years.

It doesn't surprise me all that much that someone would remember you after 13 years, actually. Although I guess it's because I think you are pretty distinctive, basically.

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... :-)
