Shadowboxing

I am convinced I have a doppleganger walking around San Luis, meeting important people, and ruining my first impression (although, of that last point I am not certain).

Let me back up:

Last week, I was at eating a burito outside this Mexican restaurant with my boss and co-worker and this guy (who knew my boss) came and sat down next to us. My comrades introduced me to this man, while his reply was something like, "Oh, yeah! I know you. We've met before."

Wrong. I had never seen that man previous to our brief encounter and quite possibly won't ever see him again.

That was the first time.

Today, Andrew (my co-worker) and I started work at a new house and we went up to the door to meet with the owner, you know, just to let him know what we were doing and to make sure everything was cool. We knocked on the door and the man who open the door was dressed as any successful business mogul should. Andrew introduced himself and as I was starting to introduce myself and offer my handskake, the man says, "Oh, I've met you before. Downtown."

Nope. Never seen this guy...EVER! This guy is the president of a bank in San Luis. Why would I have met him? How would I have met him?

Anyways, this brings me to the conclusion that I have a doppleganger walking around this town. I don't know what kind of impression he gives off, but it better be freakin cool.
