I have been on the phones at work for 4 1/2 years. Gratefully, I am no longer doing that. The amount of times I had to give my name and said , "no, Gerber, like baby food. No, not Zerber. Gerber like the baby food. No not burber like the carpet Gerber. Yes *sigh* I can spell that for you... "

try being having the First name of Sean.. most forgieners which I deal with on a large basis call me either Jean or Juan or John.

Don't make me change my name to three clicks and a short whistle.

you should definitely change it to three clicks and a whistle. Or at least tell your boss you are.

I share a name with playboy models, porn stars, cheerleaders and jewish american princesses (what we call 'japs' back east). If you met me...you'd be like 'she is so not a Mindy'.
