ALSO. I am an idiot. It's official.
I was waiting for the elevator and there was a man waiting as well who turned to me and said "I don't believe we've met, I'm [so and so]", and we went through the introduction thing.
He asked me where I work. I told him.
Then I said "and what do you do, [so and so]? I know I've seen your name on emails, but I can't remember off the top of my head."
His response? "I'm the director of the library".
Cue elevator door and my ashamed retreat.
Idiot.
(I really should have known, but in my defense there are so many levels of management and I've just never had reason to interact with him. But still. Idiot.)
UPDATED: Also, I just browsed the org chart (we have this really cool interactive one on the intranet) and realized that he's not over the whole library, he's director of a division that's basically parallel to mine. That alleviates some of my shame.
you are charming!
