I'm a total sucker at socializing, especially with strangers. This is what usually happens:
Postman: Is Ms Cori here?
Me: *stares like an idiot*
P: Is Ms Cori here?
M: Ms-- Oh no, she's off to work.
P: Oh, right. Nobody's at home?
M: Uhhh... Yeah...
P: Fine. Sign this paper here and I'll be off.
M: I'm not Ms Cori...
P: *getting impatient* I know, just sign it.
M: But I'm not Ms Cori...
P: *exasperated* I know, it's okay if you're not Ms Cori, I just need someone to sign this paper!
M: Oh, sure, yeah. *fumbles with pen* There.
P: Thank you. Bye.
Smooth move, Vi. Smooth going.
Another scenario which just happened today which by the way, is in a foreign country:
(hotel doorbell sounds)
(I open it)
Lady: Hi! Is this Ms Cori's room? May I enter?
Me: *slow brain trying to process information* Uhhh...
Lady: *thinks I don't speak English* @&%@&% (speaks the country's language)
Me: *stares some more*
Lady: *getting exasperated* @&%@&%!
Me: Uhhh... Sorry I don't speak your language.
Lady: Okay, fine. Is this Ms Cori's room?
Me: *nods*
Lady: Can I enter? I have to serve her the supplements.
Me: *nods* *opens the door wider*
Wow. I'm certainly wonderful at that. *excessive head-desking*
So that's me. The wunnerful Violette of ummm... Slow brain syndrome strikes again. The joy.
