This is too funny! Here is an excerpt from an email I got from the client team I am working with on my new project:
Well, with the rousing conclusion of 1 transition project and subsequent announcement of another... in the same week.... is anyone up for a drink?If so, let's head to Teala's on W. Dallas this Friday after work. (If we all mentally commit to leaving here at 4:00, we can be there by no later than 4:10.....)
That was awfully nice of them to invite me, but I declined because I have other plans that evening. But almost simultaneously, I got the following email from my HR representative at Accenture:
Join us to wish Jose well on his relocation to Austin.What: Happy Hour
When: Friday, June 4
Time: 4:00 p.m. til ???
Where: Teala’s, 3210 W. Dallas
Notice that it's at the same time at the same location! That is hysterical! It makes me really want to go, now, but I don't think I can manage it.
I am the only common person between the two groups, but I can just imagine the client group talking about the outsourcing project I have been a part of right next to a group from my company! Do you think they'll realize the connection? Of course, what would I do if I were there? Not that it would be a dramatic scene, but this was just a highly amusing coincidence.
