Randomly Thursday!

[mlgnumbers]

Southwest allows family members to share their rewards points...as long as you pay a transfer fee. So stupid.

My name is not common at all and I get so many pronunciations and spellings of it. For the most part I'm like close enough. However, my name is not hard at all.

I hope I can play with you guys today. Stupid work getting in my way of GKU. Yesterday there wasn't even a chance.

This is me too. I was hoping for time on lunch but the drive thru at Chick Fil A was insane. Hopefully tomorrow!

Anyone else on the Tapatalk app? These new ads in the middle of threads/posts are driving me crazy!

I bitched about it last night in the hump day randoms thread.  No fix for it.

I have an android. Sometimes I get a small ad at the bottom but it's nothing to annoying.

This is every page has at least one ad and it looks like a post.  It's MF'ing annoying.

My professional email address is [e-mail]. I received an email yesterday that began,

"Dear Slightly Different First Name,

Blah, blah, blah."

How does that happen?

Our format for company email addresses is the same, and SO many people spell my name wrong...and it is not a very hard name at all. Just a slightly different spelling that normal. Even people I have worked with for 3 years consistently spell it wrong, even when I've nicely pointed it out to them....

I mean, my name is RIGHT THERE at the top of the email. RIGHT. THERE. How do you get it wrong so many times?!

That's worse than what I encounter at work. Everyone wants to call me by a nickname for my full first name. I do not go by that nickname, I sign all emails with my name, I introduce myself with my name, never once have i referred to myself with that nickname. Yet probably 7 out of 10 people here always call me by the nickname, in conversation and in email. One time when I politely told someone I preferred my actual name, he told me to lighten up and just get used to it.

I have a family friend whose mom refers to me as Jessica no matter how often she is reminded.  My name is nowhere near Jessica.  I understand why she doesn't get along with her mom.

I am adult enough to admit that choosing topings for my sandwhich stresses me out. what if the olives ruin it? then its MY fault. Give me pre-made combos any day.

Olives ruin everything

I tried a Red Bull for the first time today and I think it tastes like fake bubble gum flavour. BLECH. High caffeine drinks are the only remedy that works for my migraines and the nearest store didn't have my usual fav.

CONGRATS starbuck27!!

kellybenelly83, your Walmart someecard is HILARIOUS.  I'm saving it to show my H!

My favorite student yesterday: The one who brought me some sort of quesadilla of deliciousness. AND REMEMBERED SOUR CREAM.

My favorite student today: The one who brought me angel food cake.

I think there's a pattern forming here...

I had that happen too!  I met some of DH's extended family when we were dating and they learned my name then.  But a few months later we saw them again and his second cousin starting introducing as "D's girlfriend Heather" and my name is sooo not Heather!  It doesn't even start with an H.

People from our corporate office keep mentioning that they heard I'm going along with the division that just got sold to another company when that sale is finalized, and they'll be sad to see me go.

It's making me paranoid. My boss and I have had conversations about this, but the sheer number of people who have said they heard this is freaking me out.

That's obnoxious.

I had people telling me in my last job that my position was moving to Dallas.  When I asked my boss, she said they needed to shut up.  It never happened.

Good freaking out or bad freaking out?  My response differs based on your feels.

I tried to go by my legal name when I started working where I'm at. And then my cousin told everyone how excited she was for me to start working here using my nickname. I will forever go by my nickname.

My married name is so common that DH's birth mom and I have the same name. It is only slightly awkward. No one at work remembers my maiden name. It was really German.

And milkshake update - blender is amazing and the chocolate silk + chocolate ice cream was yummy.

I made a bunch of chocolate yesterday and I want to eat it all.

Re: flower watering guy from UO thread.

He's doing his job now. I've been watching him for like 15 minutes. I hope he doesn't think I'm a weirdo. I don't think he can see me.
