A blast from the "Crazies" Past

Ok, some of you might remember a lady that came into the office last year (look at the 7/14/04 post) claiming that her identity was stolen and that the woman impersonating her was out and about on campus...and well anyway, we needed to know that she is the real CIA agent and not this woman. And at the time the story was ridulous and you know, it still is.
So today she comes in, burdened with 3 carry-on luggage cases as opposed to the 2 of last year. Reintroduces herself and asks if we will be having any lectures or conferences this summer. This is the same question that she asked last year, and like last year the answer is the same, no. But she continued on talking about random things about the office (if we had any literature she could take, interesting pamphlets, etc.) and about the Middle East on the whole (oh, isn't just awful about the soldier dying in Iraq...if only we could find a way to leave...), after a few minutes of her talking she gives me this comment that some of the old timers in the office (trust me...they ain't here anymore) would remember her name. And she says this is the way of "don't you know who I am?" Unfortuately, I do remember who she is, she is one of the best all-time crazies that have come into the office...and while she had quite the audience last year (several people heard her speech) I think that she was a little disappointed that only one person was in here today. Well, Ms. Goldstein, you are remembered, but probably not what you have wanted to be for.
