What's in a name?

I'm bad at names, actually I'm horrible at names...usually my description of people in the office that I should know the names of devolves into physical descriptions. "Hey, you know the bald black guy that sits near Paresh?" or "that one chick that should wear more clothes over in the dev group" is where I generally devolve to. Well, I got hit with it myself and it didn't make me feel bad, for once. I was rounding the corner towards the lunch room around noon and heard, "Yeah, Norby, the blonde guy with the goatee that sits across from the mailroom.....oh, him, right there..." and it actually made me feel a little better about myself that people don't just see the chubby guy over near the mailroom. I mean, I am an Angry Fat Man, I'll admit that, I just don't want other people to say it!
