Have you ever been in a group meeting and your boss asks you a question and you truly have no idea what they’re talking about? You feel the faces around you start to stare at you awaiting your response, but you have no clue why you’re being asked this question or what an appropriate answer might be. You sit there confused and it’s not until another coworker realizes what’s happened that you’re saved. They might say, “That’s not Sarah. That’s Tara. She doesn’t work on that account.” True story. Tara and Sarah are regularly mistaken for one another. Sure, they’re both blonde. Sure, their names are almost the same. Sure, they’re both rather petite. Sure, they’re both ODU grads. Sure, they were both members of the same sorority. Sure, they both started at Meridian in the same summer. Sure, their birthdays are just one day apart. But, they ARE different people…right?
As these two are so freakishly similar, we decided to put them to the test and see where their differences lie. Both filled out the below questionnaire separately. We’ll see how many questions they provide similar responses for. Perhaps then we can all learn to tell them apart!

Well there you have it. Out of 15 questions, Tara and Sarah provided the same or similar responses seven times. So they are somewhat different, but also basically kind of the same person. Do you know who is who? Neither do we! One day we’ll get them straight. Maybe.
