The Sarahs and Saras in My Life

There is no shortage of women named Sarah in my life. Sally McCabe is actually named Sarah. Surprised I haven't written an article about her. Maybe when the Rangers win the Stanley Cup.

That happens about every forty years. Maybe next June. The season has barely begun and nurses are always good to know. I have known many Sarahs on this site. I also have the strange ability to distinguish Sarah and Sara if I have seen their names in print.

I can distinguish Jeffs and Geoffs. That won't end up on a resume. Famously I talked to a man named Steven. He was taken aback when I asked "Is that with a V or a PH". On that job I worked with a lady named Leigh Anne. Others spelled her name every way except the way her parents wanted.

While there is no way to keep up with all the ways to spell Brittany (I used to ask representatives named Mary Ann how they spelled their name because there are many variations) there have been some great Sarahs in my life. Some I met on LinkedIn such as:

Sarah K

On the occasions our strawberry girl posts it is nice to see. There were many good ideas. Anyone you connect with should be someone you would want to meet in person if the opportunity arose. Some are lovely as they post and comment. I don't make friends with the ones who brag about how great they are. Others speak for themselves like:

Sarah D

She is Sarah C now. Meeting her in high school she worked really hard. When someone's study habits make me say "I should have worked like that"- don't ask what was stopping me. She married a classmate.

There were about six couples made in my high school class. All except one are still together. One passed away. Nice girls from high school should never have anything bad happen to them. That's not the way the world works. This Sarah was more perpiheral in my life. She has a good legacy just like:

Sarah P

She is an artist. There are not enough artists on LinkedIn. I would rather see art than braggadocio or those infernal games. The art is really nice to see. I think of posts as art. Writing is a different discipline. if it is discipline you want:

Sara R

Running the department at the resort- I met her in the interview process. The people I interviewed with were the ones I worked with. That was a good process. The position hinges on an abusive supervisor. Seeing anyone else was enjoyable.

Sometimes seeing the higher ups will make you stand at attention or act like you are working harder. I never had to do that with Sara. She ran a good department and was an asset to the company. Her trajectory was different than:

Sarah O

In hotel reservations there were cliques. Some people in said cliques were nice. Others were not. I started with Courtney. She was a pretty blonde who was left handed and had to go to the bathroom more often than I- Too Much Diet Coke Man.

She and Sarah became good friends. As time progressed, Courtney was kind of the same. Sarah moved up the ranks. She showed other sides of herself. Anyone can do it. She was dating a guy in the office so I wasn't looking to go there.

Interestingly, under her tutelage he dressed a lot better. Not that he needed a makeover, when they were together he found the right colors and looked better. Whether he was inspired to shop to look better for her or she picked out his wardrobe- it was an intricacy worth recalling.

That position ended. She stayed with the company. I tried going back and messed up. There would have been more to the story if I followed through. It was nice seeing her and she was a good colleague. That's all the Sarahs I can think of

-AHEM

Did someone have something to say?

"Yes. Have you forgotten Sarah E? After all we've been through?"

"As a middle child I thought you would be accustomed to being the forgotten woman. Sarah O would fit in well at your conference."

"Perhaps. She must be tall. How can you write about everyone in your life and not properly showcase me? You even wrote about your sister's cat."

"Precious had a twenty year trajectory. Look, I didn't want to ruin the surprise. (Gets down on one knee)

"I am not a bigamist. Why didn't you pull this when we were in Utah?"

"I know better than to propose to a married woman. You were not included in this article because you are the topic of the season finale. Now I have to write it and recall very good experiences we had.
