Today I was conducting an onboarding for a new employee. Granted the exciting work the finance department isn’t a thriller but man, did she look like she’d rather be anywhere else. No poker face. In the middle of a riveting discussion on submitting expenses reports, she lights up. A huge smile on her face, a dance in her eyes.

With great excitement she explains that she finally has figured out what celebrity I remind her of from her favorite show. I’m a bit nervous wondering if Rosanne Barr is back on TV or something. She grabs her phone and frantically finds a picture of this person.

When she pulls the picture up, I try to keep a poker face. Cripes, this is what she thinks I look like??? Sadly I can see the resemblance. Especially today when I’m feeling kind of good about my purposefully messy hair look. Not only do I look like this person, but we act alike she explains “You know, a little crazy.” Crazy? I hadn’t even started on being crazy with her. After all, it was our first meeting.

Once she leaves, I pull up the picture myself and send it to two friends saying they might get a good laugh out of this, while I have a good cry. One writes back that she knows the character who plays a sociopath on the show. A sociopath. Wow. The other is kind enough to say at best, we could be distance cousins. The sociopath is stalking Justin Theroux. As far as I know, I’m not stalking anyone. See, there is a difference. If you are wondering, here’s the photo:

In other celebrity news, Kathryn has informed me there is a whole group of people that believe Stevie Wonder is faking blindness. This is based on a photo of him taking a photo where it appears he can see the subject.  I wasn’t sure what to say except that I doubt he’s sighted given some of the outfits he wears – a sighted person would not wear that. Ah, that’s part of the plan too otherwise people would know he wasn’t blind.

Given the choice, I’d rather be considered a blind faker than a sociopath.
