Since we last saw the Elevator Lady, my employer has physically moved to new offices at a new location. These new offices are spread out more than the old ones, so I don't casually run into the same people I used to.
It's the end of the day and I'm waiting at an elevator, doing nothing in particular, wondering what type of chinese food I might like to order for dinner, when I hear someone approaching from my right side. It's her.
I'm pretty sure she thinks I don't see her because my head is turned as she approaches. And I don't really see her as much as I sense her. She's klip-klopping arond in a loud pair of shoes and the klip-klopping is getting louder. In my peripheral vision, I see her making a bee line for my elevator when all of a sudden the klip-klopping breaks stride and starts to move in a different direction. I look up and confirm who it is. Her back is to me at this point, I'm sure she believes she successfully navigated herself out of a torturous elevator ride with me. Well, maybe so, but she didn't escape a blog entry about it.
The elevator I was waiting for is not very far from 2 other banks of elevators. I am 100% positive she was heading for my elevator before turning away and heading to a different one.
I'm just glad she turned toward a different elevator so that I wouldn't be forced to feign like I forgot something then walk away.
Here's a site that does facial recognition to match you to the celebrities you look like the most. You upload a picture of yourself and it spits out results.
I haven't tried it yet (when I do, I'll let you know the results), but a couple radio guys tried it and read their matches on air. They were WAY off. It told one guy he looked like Larry Bird and Sarah Michelle Gellar. Enjoy.

Could this be the highly secretive James Cameron project known as "Project 880?" No, I suppose not, but one can dream.
No, really! According to CNN I do. They say "Software Engineer" is the #1 best job in the Country.
"Designing, developing and testing computer programs requires some pretty advanced math skills and creative problem-solving ability. If you've got them, though, you can work and live where you want"
That's me, baby! Don't you wish you were me? And if I told you where I work, you'd be ten times more jealous.
