If seeing people from my past over the weekend weren’t enough, yesterday I was walking down the hallway in the office and I saw this woman and heard her voice and had to walk back and take another look. I knew I knew her. I looked her in the eye and she looked right at me and I was about to say her name, but had that millisecond of hesitation thinking that maybe it wasn’t the person I thought it was. I looked her up on our internal system and I know it’s her. I didn’t see her last week because all of the sales people were out in CA. I used to work with her at Monster, where she was either an account manager or a project manager. In the system now she has a different last name, but I checked with Jeannette and it’s because she got married. Jeannette also confirmed that she does work here now. I should try to refind her to say hello now that I know I won’t be making a fool of myself. I probably haven’t seen her since 2003 or 2004.
Then today I was having a horrible morning. My bed had no blanket at the hotel I moved to yesterday so I got a horrible night’s sleep, someone set the clock for an hour earlier than it actually was so I was running late, I jumped in a cab to rush downtown for a meeting and I had no cash to pay the driver, etc. I finally got it all sorted out and was rushing into the door of our building but had to stop because “HOLYCRAP there is Matthew walking the cutest dog ever!” Man, I haven’t seen Matthew since his birthday party in 2004, I think.
I feel like I’m participating in some kind of “Rachelle, this was your life in NY” reality TV show or something. I wonder who I’ll see tomorrow.
Hi Rachelle.
I’ll find you today. What floor you on?
Love, Kara Kiernan Gabay (former Account Manager AND Project Manager at Monster).
What?! No picture of the cutest dog ever?
I think it was a white french bulldog.
Hi Rachelle – do you have to relocate to NYC for your job at Google?
Hi Rachelle – This is going back a while, but when I was an e-product advisor at Monster my boss in the NY office later went to Google (at least this is the word that spread back to San Diego before I left). You could possibly be running into another familiar face if she’s still there.
PS
We’re going back to Kauai in 3 weeks, I’ve been looking through your pics for ideas.
agnes, what was your boss’s name?
have fun in kauai!
Jen McCaffrey.
