Funny Work Story

Our office had a retirement luncheon for one of our 37-year employees.  When I walked into the room, a younger, blond woman greeted us.  She said my name, as if I'm supposed to know her, and gave me a hug.  Hmm, okay.

After I sat down, I asked my coworker who the blond woman at the front of the room was. "That's Nancy [our manager]!", he said.  I turned seven shades of red.  But I guess I shouldn't have been embarrassed - Nancy works from home 100% of the time so I had never met her.  We have twice-weekly video meetings but we always turn our cameras off.  The only time I had ever seen her was during my video job interview over a year ago.  And that was only about 20 seconds, before the technical guy took over.

As expected, my coworker razzed me in our next meeting.
