What a bitch...

I am such a bitch. I feel really horrible. It's all because of my goldfish memory... Mom, did you drop me on my head a lot or what? Cause seriously, I'd forget my own name if it wasn't written on all my stuff, like it is.

So, I'm sitting in Border Grill having finished my dinner but still having 40 minutes before work, so I was loitering and reading the paper. In walks this gal - I know her - and she smiles, says hi, how are you, all those polite things, and I am so stumped at what her name is, where I know her from, anything at all, that I grunt a response, like an idiot. So, now she's uncomfortable that I don't remember her (when I should. I know I know her, I know I like her, but damned if I know how I know her or who she is!!), and I'm uncomfortable that I did the wrong thing. We each sat akwardly for a while, until I finally got up and left. I feel like such a schmuck.

I didn't know what to do for that last 30 minutes or so, so I drove in circles and then went to work early. Ugh... How could I be so rude??

Been there, done that, try to move on. MC has great advice. Don't remember dropping you, but then I don't remember much! ;-)
