Coffee Table Declarations

And speaking of unusual names... I had this friend in college. Her first name was not uncommon but her last name was very uncommon - it started with a "Q" and it was long and unfamiliar. In other words, a name you don't hear every day. So a few days ago, I was casually perusing job ads online. Just looking to see what else is out there since I am making next to nothing though my job is not bad. Anyway, I stumble across a job in the Human Resources field - one that I am interested in. I read through the description and then come to the contact info and the name given is the same as my old name. First and last name including spelling. The job itself was probably not for me since it was only a temp job and I would want a permanent position.

Could this be my old college friend? I wondered. Well, our college was in the area so it wouldn't be insane to imagine she was living nearby. Plus she was a psych major along with me, so she may very well have ended up in the Human Resources field. Not only that, but what are the chances I would be casually perusing job ads and stop on this one long enough to read through it? One week either way and I may never have seen the ad. The circumstances were just right for this to be one of those amazing coincidences.

I sent an email to the contact email address asking if this was the same (first name last name) from (my college) College. I said if so, that I was her old friend and if not, please disregard this email. I've never done something like that but I figured I had nothing to lose. Either it will be her and she will write back or it won't be her but she will write back and say she admires my gumption and offer me a job. Just kidding, she will probably just delete the email if it's not her. We shall see.
