Anyone ever see that commercial where the boss is calling the guy named Raphael the totally wrong name? Well...I get called Joanne by this woman right near my cubicle (yes I have a cubicle, thank you very much!) I just sent her a bunch of emails and every reply says "Thanks Joanne, I'll do that" etc. Anyone else have good name stories?

teasing? ok.
Well, i am often called Katrina by none other than the lady who is my go-between for most things, who introduced me to more people than i want to count, and whom i talk with most every day... But not always.
But mostly they just avoid saying my name, and then they don't have to remember.
My neighbour at home (we knew them pretty well) Always called me Christine, and then once she asked me "Christine, doll, isn't your name Kristin-A?", which i thought was pretty funny. (she calls everyone, male, female, dog,...all doll).
That, and someone (who will (needlessly) remain unnamed) referred to me a while ago as Christ-Tuna...
I'm called Pie because they are all dyslexic here, but I like it. I wouldn't be bothered if you guys did it.
I called you kristine for ever kristina
Joanna, you finish two days after me.
When did you start? i think today Might be my last week of journals, but i need to check...
sigh. journals.
Why does this always loose capitalization of our names in comments?
Thanks Joanna,
strange finishing date, probably on account of federal holidays and such, guessing.
(We can have whole conversations in these comments!)
seeing as we are just doing the random thing in these comments, where is max? I want to know what max is up to.
and I have a black eye! WHOOOT!
Max said, way back at the start, that he was doing something in Labrador, and that he would check back with details, but...
i dunno.
I also don't know what Travis is up to.
And (so i don't go too far off topic, as someone seemed to dissaprove of that...), I was showing my roommate Mirian (Brazilian) pictures of all of you from the Kodak website yesterday, she came up with a lot of descriptive names for you people (I will point out that they were all very positive descriptions. I think she loves you all now, but she wasn't so keen on the classroom circles stuff, and thought common meals were way too strange). (look at that, i went off topic again).
Emily, hope your eye doesn't hurt too much! (do we get a picture?)
and, hey, i didn't notice that anyone called me kristine, so Meh.
Yay for being officially done of journals!!!!
and Joanna - I have no shame (or pride for that matter - except PEI rocks!). Of course it was a shameless plea!
