Nice To Meet You

 Hubby Tony and I were out shopping this morning when we passed a woman going the other way. Tony looked surprised, stopped, and greeted the woman by name. It turns out it was his boss, who I have never met. 

Tony has talked often about his co-workers, including his supervisor, and I've learned quite a few details about her. I had no no idea what she looked like. Back before COVID forced everyone to work from home Tony would attend an occasional after-work happy hour. but there were no organized activities for spouses.

Of course I couldn't shake the woman's hand, but we warmly nodded at each other. She told us what she was getting from the store, and I asked about a house project Tony had told me she was doing. Then we parted ways.

It's nice to know, though, that for the next ten days, whenever Tony mentions his boss I will be able to put a face to the name.

  1. Does your brain do a memory wipe after 10 days. My brain doesn't take that long at all.

    1. I wish I could get rid of all the non-essential information in my brain; just think how much smarter I could be! When Tony stops talking about his boss the information won't be pertinent any more.

    1. So if you ever run into the person you would recognize them.

  5. I thought the drawing would be of a face and a mask. It sounds like you actually saw her face, I look forward to mask free days ahead here in California.

    1. Technically I saw the TOP of her face...masks are still required here.

  6. So funny, all this time you couldn't put a face to the name and now, with just a few days to go on the job, you can put half a face to the name.
