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.
