"You look like a Hafsa" ^o)
Ever heard that before?!!? That's what I got... I "look" like a Hafsa!.. A friend @ work also believes that we "look" like our name. here's the story about that..
@ work, we have the same UPS guy coming to pick up mails for the last 3-4 years. Very friendly. Every time he comes by, we talk to him about the weather, the weekend, new phones, blackberries, and everything you can think of. [Yes, the phones and blackberries would be my regular conversation.]
Last week, I realized something, ...guess what! ... I don't know his name! Yes, typical IT person, I suppose. So I asked around. My entire team knows him - so they must know his name, and they have been around longer than me.
I went up to R "R, what's his name?"
"Who? the UPS guy?"
"yeah."
R replied with a straight face, "UPS GUY!"
Disappointed, I said, "oh"
I said to myself, let me try someone else.
"K, what's the UPS guy's name"
K goes, "I don't know"
R, who overheard this conversation, came over, and said to us, "He looks like a Steve or a Tim"
K and I just stared at him - no words could express our reaction. We obviously had the "what are you talking about" look!
R gave up his idea of guessing names, "Okay okay, we could ask him"
I disagreed, and added, "Of course, we can't ask him. What are you gonna say - "umm, after 3 years, i wanna know your name?"" K agreed with my disagreement.
R, the creative one, exclaimed, "oh.. i know!"
K and I didn't have our hopes too high this time - scared to be let down..
he continued "we'll tell him, for security reasons we need a form filled out, and we'll ask him to fill in his name, company name and all"
K thought that was a lot of work. So in short, we still don't know his name!!
