Mistaken Identity
I've had people AIM me all the time by accident, meaning to talk to the person above or below me in the list, but usually as soon as I respond, he or she realizes the mistake and apologizes. I think this is one of the longer conversations I've had without recognition kicking in, especially since I, while a little perplexed as to why I was hearing from this person I only briefly knew, was still convinced most of the way through that I was whom he intended to talk to:
Old Coworker: hey buddy..how is it going?
Matt: it's going okay. how are you?
Old Coworker: doing well
Matt: where are you working now?
Old Coworker: hey I did you....we recently had our baby
Old Coworker: did I tell you
Matt: congratulations!
Matt: boy or girl?
Old Coworker: thnxs...its 2 months now...we named her ___
Old Coworker: thnxs
Matt: wonderful
Matt: was this your first?
Old Coworker: ofcourse....yes...how can you forget...remember the bachelors party you arranged for me...whch was little over a year ago :-)
Old Coworker: oops
Matt: wrong window? :-)
Old Coworker: I may have got the wrong person
Old Coworker: sorry
Matt: no worries :-)
