JE NI PUH!

So, I walk out of my building this morning, and wait at the crosswalk as I always do.  When the light changed, I started crossing the street, and was surprised to hear my name.  The woman in the car I was walking towards was calling my name and checking if it was me or not.

"JE NI PUH, JE NI PUH!!"

Well, yes, I'm Je Ni Puh, as they pronounce it.  But who the heck is she?  She points at herself and says, Seonil (the name of my elementary school).  Then she proceeds to wave me into the passenger seat of her car.

What did I do?  I got in!  And it shaved 10 minutes off of my morning commute.  :)
