Default Bizarro "wow" moments

I work for a company based in PA, but live in CA. I go back periodically to PA, and each time I go, people introduce themselves to me, like I've never met them - they DON'T KNOW WHO I AM because I've lost so much weight, and they don't recognize me, so they think they never met me in person. It's so weird. I used to think that people were staring at me because they were pissed off at me for some reason (I do that to people sometimes) - but, they're staring at me because they think they know me, but don't know how. I've had people I've been working with for years INTRODUCE themselves to me.

Things that make you go "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"

Default same thing too funny

I went back to work for the same company that I left after having GBS surgery two years ago. I had one of the reps that knew me fat two years ago sitting there staring at me today at work and kept staring finally I went up to her and said "you knew me when I was fat" and she said that's it! Wow how did you do it blah blah blah. I said I had surgery.. I have no problem telling people I had surgery. Janie
