The Well Dressed Librarian has a great post with this title! As one who is a "Michael" not "Mike" I can very much identify with him! I can tell a sales rep who has never met me is calling when he says "Hi, Mike!"
One of my email accounts has a sig file with "My friends call me Michael!" as the end. Remember that!
I have a similar problem, only in reverse. There are only a couple of people who can call me "Susan" and live to tell about it :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I came to work here, I asked the library supervisor who manages the audio-visual desk what she wanted to be called. Thankfully, she said "Susan." Two people in one division named Sue might be a tad difficult. lol
