Ok, I've been at my job since June of 2007. So over a year. On a constant basis, people are calling me by the name of the girl before me, Megan.
At least four people have done this in the past few months. I even got congratulated for getting engaged because someone told another person in the office that "Megan" got engaged. They immediately came over to my desk and congratulated me. Double whammy since I'm already an LIW.
These are not people who barely know me. They work with me enough to know my name.
Just last week someone referred to me as "whatshername" to another person and then continued toward my desk. I said "Oh, whatshername?" and she goes "Oh! I didn't know you were here!"... as if that somehow makes it better? You call me "whatshername" when I'm not around?
Today someone came up to my desk and said "Ohhh! I'm so glad youre here!" and asked a favor. I did it, and got a "Thanks Megan!"
I am seriously starting to take this personally. Am I THAT insignificant that you can't even be bothered to remember my name? I know I'm quiet, but sheesh...
Rant Over. This is partially PMS inspired, so be gentle.
