Today at APS: seeing people and briefly wondering if I know them. I did manage to find my advisor and a post-doc from my lab. Other people I quickly realize I don't know. The most awkward part is seeing an androgynous person with a short enough buzz cut and briefly wondering if they're my friend/former crush whom I haven't heard from in months... and then I remember that while she was the only STEM person in my old D&D group, she's also a biologist, not a physicist.
