we hired a new counselor at work, mostly on account of the old one moved to portland.  anyways, the guy we hired is a guy, which is different and means there's three of us on campus now, as opposed to just me which has been the case at least half the time i've been there.

so it's cool there's another guy around, what's less cool though is that his name, first and last, bears a remarkable resemblance to mine.  i got my first taste of confusion whenever i got asked by a parent if i was in charge of career day.  i'm thinking "wtf?  where would they get that idea? i've never had anything to do with career day in the historyof ever," and all of a sudden it dawned on me.  that guy, the counselor, sent out his letter to parents asking for volunteers and suggestions and stuff like that, and obviously, had signed his name on the bottom.  i realize what had happened, write her back and tell her no, it's not me, the new guy we hired to be counselor just has almost exactly the same name as me, and he's the one in charge of career day.

on the bright side, i don't have to give the fifth grade boys the puberty talk this year.
