I get calls all the time by people wanting jobs done. Just as well as it is my livelyhood! Joking apart though even though many of my jobs come from my weekly newspaper advert and some through recommendation, I get old clients calling me for more work. They will call and tell me their name and then say, ‘do you remember me, you came and did such and such a job for me about three years ago’? Well my memory isn’t the best when it comes to names but to remember somebody from so long in the past, especially when I meet hundreds of people in a year, is a bit of a challenge. I received such a call tonight and was asked if I had remembered her. Well I had to admit that I didn’t but she continued, ‘you remember that you had to balance on the bed to fit the light’? Strangely enough I remembered having to do that because the bed couldn’t be moved but it was the only thing I did remember. When I call next week to do her job I will most probably remember her face but her name? I don’t think so! I do have a good long term memory in that I can remember even conversations I had with people years ago, places I have been and incidences in my life. Yes I do remember people too but not their names!
