One of the interesting things about large business meetings is encountering people you’ve only heard of, or heard (on the phone) but never met
Of three people I’d had that sort of exposure to:
- One gent I’d imagined as a lean and somewhat bony fellow turned out to be tall and softly baby-faced.
- One gent I’d thought of as having a round and craggy face turned out to have a rather cylindrical mien.
- One gent I’d thought of as white turned out to be black.
Nothing wrong with any of the surprises. I just wish I knew how my mind’s eye worked, since it seems to be piss-poor and building faces to names/voices.
