Identity Crisis

It's been a weird month. It started with a note I recieved from a director at the company I'm contracted to. She'd forwarded an invitation with a note that said, "This looks great!". It was a wedding invitation. I replied saying that she probably didn't mean to send it to me.

Then a guy from work IM'd me on a Friday afternoon. "Want to get a beer?" He said. I said, "Ummm... are you sure you mean me?" We've never talked on a personal level. He was suprised when I said I was at the client site. Oh, and I'm a lesbian. Not that I'm in-your-face about it, but if he'd asked around at all, he'd get the message.

I finally heard back from the director, that the invitation was meant for her sister. As a co-worker said, she didn't really want me as her date for the wedding.

Scanning the headlines, I saw "A speck in Katrina's eye." It's really weird to see your name in the headlines.

Another IM today, asking if I want to talk about the technical training next week. I said I'd be happy to provide input, but Anne the trainer would probably be a better resource. Which is who they meant to ping.

So this is a note to the universe. I am me. I expect this season of mistaken identities to pass. However I'm not above taking advantage of the mistakes if I'm offered something I want.
