My jobs have not been in quite as interesting fields but I have worked construction and retail quite a lot. The town I live in is in a tri-county area that really is not all that big. The scary part is just how many people I suddenly realize I recognize on site. Ofcourse having the memory of a crack baby it is often hard for me to remember where I saw them.
I find it really bad when they recognize me and start talking and I have to bluff till I figure out where I know them from. Usually it only take a few seconds. But I know what you mean Wolf. My wife claims she cant take me anywhere. I usually bump into someone I know. I live in South caorlina. While visiting a friend in New York state I was walking in the mall and bumped into a girl that I knew in high school. Went to Delaware and met a man whos plane I use to refuel in SC. Went to Utah and bumped into a couple of guys in letter jackets from my high school. They were from a year or so behind me but still. Frankly it keeps me from being lonely AND helps keep my paranoia up.
