tanaiseI used to know *everyone* here. I could rattle off details at the drop of a hat--room number, directions, phone number, surveys they work on, projects they work on--pretty much everything you'd need to know. This was when I was the admin assistant and was what I loved the best about being an admin assistant.
Currently, I'm clueless. A whole bunch of people I knew left for grad school (probably a sign that I should have as well), and the kids they got in to replace them are, well, kids. They're babies. I'm going to be 26 this birthday. (Ooh. wow. I'm old. I'd sort of forgotten how old I'd be turning) Not only do I not know names with faces, I can't even tell people apart. As soon as they step out of my office, I completely forget what they looked like, and have to play along every time one of them stops by to ask me a question. They all look alike. Well, okay, I can tell the boys apart, but there are only like 5 of them, and most have been here for a while. The girls, even the ones who have been here for a while, all blend together in my head.
I think it's time for a new job.
