While living in Ohio we remodeled our kitchen and two bathrooms. I’m not good with names even when they were wearing nametags. Though I didn’t remember their names there were people in multiple departments that knew mine. A bit embarrassing when they greet you by name.
I’m quite face blind, so I’ve developed tricks to get the other person to give me the information I need to recognize them. Especially useful when everyone wears the same company vest.
Hope you had a lot of fun with the remodeling. It’s a great feeling to turn something made for someone else into something that’s truly yours.
