Do you every have those moments that your brain just seems to be disconnected somewhere? I seem to have these moments with an increasing frequency which partly scares me but more often provides me with a lot of entertainment.
Today, was a classic example of Diana's brain short circuiting!
I'll have to back-track to last night. I had heard from one of our teams back home that was having some IT related issues with their team here in Hyderabad; while IT is certainly not on my list of expertise, I had said I'd look into it today on their behalf. It was perfect timing for an IT related issue because only yesterday I had met James; an IT guy from Canada who is here until March. I probably shouldn't refer to him as an "IT guy"...I'm not sure how I'd feel about being referred to as an "Audit girl". Okay, I just looked up his title so I will make the correction, he is a "Senior Analyst, IT Support Service"; that sounds better! I knew James would be around today and I could talk to him about the issue.
When I met the team this morning to find out more I referenced James and noticed they all smirked. Hmm...always a sign that I've said something wrong. They explained that I had noted "James" when I emailed them last night but it's actually Jason. I could only laugh. Last night when I was typing the email to them I could only remember that his name started with J...so I went with James. Now that I think of it, that might be a little of Downton Abby coming through. Anyhow...Jason, okay, now I wouldn't forget...or at least I thought. What happened next, can best be explained by reading this...(Mahir is one of the team that I was talking to this morning)...

If nothing else, I'm providing people with a laugh...
