Alive HR

Yesterday, my family and I flew from Washington, DC, to Atlanta and from there, on to San Jose’, Costa Rica. As we walked up to the gate in Atlanta, my husband struck up a conversation with a young couple, asking if the gate agent had been seen. I kept looking at the young man, thinking, “That guy looks just like Ben Madden,” an HR pro I met at HRevolution and RecruitDC. Finally I had to ask.

Yes, it was Ben. He and his fiancee were also headed to Costa Rica and in fact ended up sitting directly behind me on the plane.

Then today, we ran into yesterday’s flight crew at our restaurant in San Jose’, a metro area of about a million people, if I understand correctly.

I wonder which friends we’ll unexpectedly encounter tomorrow!
