lawyers all look alike

i hardly know anyone's name at work. lots of people keep stopping by my office, real friendly-like, to say hi and ask me how things are going - but they almost never introduce themselves, simply assuming that i of course remember them from my whirlwind tour of the office on my first day, during which i was introduced to maybe 40 people in 20 minutes.

so i just pretend i know who they are. but it's stressful 'cause i'm never quite sure if i'm talking to an equal or to someone who is evaluating my every move with the power to decide my fate.

i wish we had a policy that everyone has to wear name tags. :(
