Thanks, everyone, for all your responses to the iPod shuffle and bunch-o'-questions post! I'm always excited when folks give me some comment love! I still haven't figured out why my font shrinks randomly, but I'll see if my company's web developer can help me out. I'll bribe him with Sour Patch Kids. Update: Jess is awesome! She pointed out that my tiny font issues were because of <> tags!
On a not so happy-go-lucky note, can I just complain a bit? One of my biggest pet peeves is when I see someone whom I've met at least a couple of times before....and they don't remember me. Granted, I may not be the most memorable person in the world, but after half a dozen emails, meeting in person a couple of times (including an all-day event), I'd expect at least a hint of recognition. Here's what happened the other day:
Him: Hi, I'm John!
Me (knowing exactly who he is, but figuring I'd play along): Hi, I'm Nanette.
Him: Oooooooh. Um, did you dye your hair?
Me (I have only dyed me hair once, back in 1998): No.
Him: (silent)
Me: It's ok. We've only met... a few times before.
Ugh.

ReplyDeletehaving met you twice (maybe three times?) I can't imagine how anyone couldn't remember you. In fact, I promise to recognize you next time even if you do dye your hair.
ReplyDeleteUgh is right! I hate that!!! Well, I haven't ever met you but I would remember you! (and then you'd think me a crazy internet stalker!!)
