Stephen Colbert jokes about not recognizing race, you really don't!
I miss your avatar, but the kitty is cute.
Well today at work something really weird happened. I have face blindness pretty badly, but if I'm around someone enough, it will go away with them. Yesterday a young blonde woman (not a boss) whom I know pretty well, always recognize, have had lunch with several times among a group, gave me some work to do. This morning I brought the finished job to another blonde older woman, one of our bosses, somebody I always recognize, but would never have lunch with. I said,
here's the job you gave me.
When she told me it wasn't her, I almost didn't believe her, I thought she was kidding me. I couldn't figure it out until I asked my other boss whom he had sent to give me the work.
The whole thing really unnerved me.
