Blast from the past for a boss.

When Elaine and I were speculating about our new director (we were right, by the way), I sent his website to Emily and her first reaction?

"He looks like Ted McGinley with a beard"

New Bossman stopped by to meet with our admin (good start, bud, good start) and hehehe, he looks even MORE like Ted McGinley in person.

Not that I told him that. But I told my officemate Regina who had a good chuckle and agreed.

LOL

Ages and ages ago, I worked on a project where I spent months where I was on the phone daily with a customer named Jack. I talked to him constantly.

And then one day, I heard Jack's voice in the hallway coming toward our office - and I stood up and looked over the cube walls and said "I know that voice!"

Jack walks in with my boss - and we met in person, for the first time.

And I was CRUSHED - because the voice did NOT match the person - I could not have told you what I *thought* Jack would look like, but clearly I did have SOME expectation - because my initial reaction was "that can't be Jack" LOL

He was a smallish, thin guy, with short dark hair, a sharp pointy nose and a thin mustache - I guess I had him as a taller, blond guy? I dunno. All I knew was that my brain was going "buh?" the whole time we were chatting in person :D

Oh that's disappointing! Sometimes voices are SO different than real life.

Heh, reminds me when I worked in a call center and sometimes I'd purposely put on the Super Customer Service Voice to the point that people frequently thought I was a recording LOL
