"Desperately try to not forget everyone's name."
Yeah, no, lol... My first day at my job, the boss took me around to every single person in the department and introduced me - 1 by 1.
About 40 people.
4 months later, I still only know the people's names that are in meetings with me (barely) or I see them outside smoking or we catch them at the coffee machine. There are entire groups of people I say high to every day and and I don't remember their names...
That said - I'm horrible with names so... lol...
