saifai | A day in the life...

This happened just this past Friday. I've got a new (if temporary) driver on my route. We were discussing people we recognize on the radio, and the ways in which some of them try to disguise their voice in order to play pranks over the radio. We agreed that some folks just have much more memorable voices than others and can't get away with that sort of thing (my previous driver included, whose impression of guy from Mexico from a radio commercial he heard sounds disturbingly like Watto from Star Wars).

What I Intended To Say:
I'm an audio person. I will remember a voice or a sound much quicker, and with greater accuracy, than I will a face or a scent. I love sounds, and because of that it's easy for me to pick up on and remember people's voices better than any other kind of recognition available to me.

What I Actually Said:
I hear voices.

::headdesk::

The driver let that one sit for a moment before he said, "That's okay, what is said on the bus stays on the bus."

Of course, I followed that right up with, "No, no, it's okay! It's not like they answer me back or anything."

*sigh* Some days it just doesn't pay to even get out of bed. LOL
