Boy is it a small world.
After MG and I broke up I waited a week or so and put my profile back up on the website where we had met. I didn't pay for a membership again, just one of the free accounts. Earlier this week I got an email from a woman that I had been emailing back in August. In this email she gave me her phone number and said we should get together for coffee.
So I called her today. She is also a social worker and of course we had a lot in common. After about 10 minutes she asked where I got my bachelors degree. After I told her she said, "do you realize I was your supervisor at your practicum that year (1998)?" I was shocked. I immediately knew who she was. She was only my supervisor for two months because she then left the agency and I never heard from her again, well, until this year.
Want to hear something ever crazier? Two months ago when MG and I were driving around up north I saw E and knew who she was, but couldn't remember her name. I had no idea at the time that the person that I had exchanged a few emails with was my former supervisor. I think I am still in shock.
So, Monday night E and I are meeting for dinner. I am looking forward to it.
You want to hear something funny? When she was my supervisor I thought she was a bitch. I think the one that was a bitch back then was not her, but me. (Remember I was a married Jehovah's Witness robot back then)

Wow! what a twist of fate!
Wow- Small world!
It IS a small world. Never fails to amaze me sometimes. I admire your right-back-at-em' attitude Caroline. Alot of people would be very gun-shy. I wish you the best!
That is wild! Wendy used to work at the same Walmart I went to when we both lived in VA.I never met her even though I know I was in the department she worked in all the time. We were both still married at the time and we didn't meet until 8 years later at a Christmas party in 1999.
Boy, isn't life interesting!? It will be hard waiting until Monday to see what happens!! Good luck!!
That's wild!
Have fun.

yankeegirl--the social work field in KC is sooo small. everyone knows everyone. if you mess up in your work you can consider yourself done.
patti--i decided that i am not going to "look" for anyone and just see what happens. i could never give up on love
