I've realised that I'm really, really bad at remembering names.
So I've been working at my new job for a good two weeks now, I feel like I've settled quite well. It's a great bunch of people I'm working with - vibrant, friendly, enthusiastic bunch. Me likes. However, I have failed to remember most of their names, and I feel so horrible about it.
The first day I started, it seemed that everyone knew who I was. Like, everyone knew my name and stuff. They even were starting to do Juan jokes - as in Juan, two, three... or something along those lines. Actually, the following seems pretty much a good example of what happens.
Workmate: JUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAN!
me: HEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!
(blank stare, trying not to blatantly look at their name tag, then proceed to walk away, puzzled)
Sure, I know some of them already, but I'd say 20% of people who work there I know of their names. I'm terrible.
So, I've set myself a goal for the week - that is to know each and every one of them prior to the end of this week. I will write all their names up on this here blog even, so watch this space.
