It's a Small World


I was in the coffee room this morning and chatted with a colleague.  For some reason I mentioned that I would be hosting my high school reunion next year.  She asked ‘what school’ and of course I said WPC. 

       “Get out, my ex went to that school.  I lived on Haddon Rd.” (she went to Radisson)

       Turns out we lived a mile from each other some 40 years ago, and low and behold, now we work in the same office.  How weird is that?

       It just goes to show that if you ask the right questions, the odds get smaller every year that you have some kind of connection with the person you are talking to.  The trouble is that I am not very much in to that kind of chat as I was raised in a very conservative home where you didn’t ask questions of “strangers”.  I really need to get over that as it was a lot of fun to make the discovery this morning.

       So what have you learned today?
