Episode 66-the DJ at the Coffee Shop

I haven't blogged. I'm slacking. But I've been excusably busy--songwriting, poetry writing, school and I got a promotion so I am training my replacement. Yeah me. Now for today's random JS moment...

So yesterday I was with the new co-worker in the morning. I was starving! So I suggested we walk over to the coffee shop in our new building (my office has moved in the last month since our old building had a mold issue--ewww!)

I've only ever been to this coffee shop once since usualy I grab my coffee on the way to work. As I walk up to the counter, I catch sight of one of the employees. Now, ironically enough despite my obsession with weird names--I'm in fact really bad with remembering people's names, but I am good with remembering faces. So I'm looking at this girl and I'm thinking I know her from somewhere. I started to say something and then I caught sight of her name tag and suddenly it dawned on me--

Ok, so back up a little. Late last year I had been invited to a mixer at a gay club. I ended up there by myself when the person that invited me cancelled on me at the last minute. I mean it was cool, I had a nice evening. I had a few drinks and hung out for awhile--they had a really great female DJ. I only remember this because a) she was good and it's odd to see a girl DJ and b) she had an off beat name. Fast forward--the girl behind the coffee counter was the DJ.

Now, I could've said I remembered her, but that would've meant saying where I knew her from and yeah I wasn't about throwing anyone under the bus while I was standing there with my co-worker. So I ended up holding my tongue. It kind of trips me out how the world is small and flat. *shrugs shoulders*

Enjoy the weekend!
