 1) People think I work there

 2) I look like a lot of people

I was at Town Hall yesterday standing there waiting for something when a lady comes up and asks me a question like I work there.  Then gives me a 'hrumph' when I said I didn't know the answer to the question.  I have given little old ladies so much help in the grocery store and directions to countless mall people.

Throughout my life I've been told that I look like someone they know.  And it wasn't just a passing comment.  Apparently the resemblances were uncanny.  The two most recent happen to be celebrities.  Greg Grunberg (Officer Parkman from Heros) and Josh Beckett (wicked-cool Red Sox pitcher)

                                           

I know I'm friendly lookin' and quite a nice person.  Mom told me I could never lie because I had a face that could be read like a book.  I guess I'd rather be mistaken for someone helpful or friendly than everyone running in horror at the sight of me.
