I've been pretty good at names and faces over the years as I made a point of knowing peoples names.Whenever I chat with my best friend from high school and reference someone from our school days, she almost unfailingly does not remember who I am referencing. Another good guy friend’s the same way - less with people, but more with situations. I am terrible with names of new people, but don’t forget that type of stuff ever, so it is hard for me to reconcile that in my head!
Do you have a good or bad memory? Do you have an area that is better or worse than others? Has it ever bitten you in the butt?
now a few years ago I had a co-worker, Scott, that I interacted with a decent amoutn for months. after a while, he shared his name is actually Dave...or Bill, or something that wasn't Scott. I was embarrassed, but i had to tell him it is too late to change now.
