Inspired by the crappy movie I am watching
To do list if ever transported to fundamentally similar-but-tweaked version of my own life (ie married/not married, alive/not alive, monkey/not monkey...)

1. GOOGLE SELF. Find out job, relationships, history, names and jobs of friends, etc. 
2. GOOGLE PEOPLE I DON'T KNOW BUT KNOW ME. See above, but for them.
3. Go with the flow. Someone says "hey, aren't you supposed to be at work," either make something up or go. Ditto with dealing with crying babies, walking dogs, etc.
4. Learn to laugh at my own stupidity/complain about illness. "Sorry dear, I don't know how I forgot where the trash was." "My head feels so fuzzy today, where am I supposed to go next?"
5. Lie like a mofo unless someone figures out what's going on, then throwing-self-on-mercy time.

I don't understand how you google people you don't know but who know you.

Although I think I just figured it out. You search for yourself and who you're connected to, then find out more about the people you don't know in this world.

Yes. Also, when people are like "C'mon, Phil, you know me? Robbie, from down the street?" You connect them with "Oh, Robert Jones, 2401 Maplewood" or whatever.

You'll just have to hope then, that your tweaked self is trusting enough to put all that info on the 'net. Not to mention the possibility of totally different people having the exact same name as you.

I'd probably invoke brain damage or something for the whole lot. :p

Well, I mean, yes, there are other Philips (and the assumption is that tweaked-me is just as bad at information security as I am), but I'm guessing that going on situational clues (OK, I live in Kansas, the hits for someone in Florida are probably not me, etc) or the context of my new life I could at least figure out some basics. In the movie, dude can't figure out why he works where he works, and I'm pretty sure there has to have been a corporate page giving his alternate-life resume that he could have looked up.

Good plan! I will remember it should I ever get thrown into an alternate reality...
