Flashback...first day of school, your new teacher is skipping through roll call, there is a pause, beads of sweat forming on her forehead, yep you guessed it she at my name. I usually had to pronounce it for them, and give it a week to settle in!
The name thing still happens whenever I use my legal name. Even traveling abroad, people find it easier to change it! All this to say, unbunch your panties, when it comes to odd names, with odd spellings, I'm in the club! Lifetime member!
All this came about when sending my simple, easy breezy, little monthly birthdays email! One person had a conniption because her name had an extra "S" in it, and complained to her supervisor that no-one ever spells her name right! Really!! It was a typo lady, and of all days I didn't take my own advise and reread or spell check!
Insert various TPS Report scenes from Office Space and you have my day!
Adding to the overblown big deal, another person had a fit because they did not want to be on the birthday list at all, feeling it invited to many questions about their age...um, its your first name, month and day...but I can see the point on this one, a note has been made to remove from future distributions.
Apparently simple is never easy breezy!
And we're off...
