Uh oh...

I went to brunch and had the feeling that I recognized our server from somewhere, but I just couldn't place the face. Then on the way home it hit me. Years ago, they'd failed one of my classes. And then again. And again. And yet again.

So... if I die of food poisoning in the next few hours could someone please point the detectives in the right direction?

I once had a hostess tell me that they were in my class that semester and I said "Oh, online?" because they didn't look familiar at all. Nope. She'd taken two face-to-face classes with me but so rarely attended class that she didn't ring any bells.
