Woman accidentally joins search party looking for herself

http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/216498/woman-accidentally-joins-search-party-looking-for-herself/

A missing woman on vacation in Iceland managed to unwittingly join a search party looking for herself.

Toronto Sun reports that a tourist group traveling by bus to the volcanic Eldgja canyon made a pit stop near the canyon park. The woman in question went inside to freshen up and change her clothes at the rest stop, and when she came back “her busmates didn’t recognize her.”

Word spread among the group of a missing passenger, and the woman didn’t recognize the description of herself. Next thing you know, a 50-person search party was canvassing the area, and the coast guard was mobilizing to deploy a search party of its own.

About 3am, some genius in the group finally figured out that the missing woman was actually in the search party, albeit in different clothes, and the search was called off.

Leading to a career change.

I was in a corporate training seminar. We were learning how to do public speaking.

Living close to the office allowed me to go home for lunch, so on that particular day, I did. I didn't like what I'd worn that day, so I changed clothes over the lunch hour. Then I went back to work and to the seminar.

The afternoon session called for us to do a speech, which was recorded. Then they played the speeches back. We were given a critique form to fill out. I critiqued myself very highly, but I didn't know I was critiquing myself because I forgot I'd changed clothes and I didn't recognize myself.

After that, I changed from being a marketing executive who did public speaking to being a public speaker and public speaking teacher.
