Hey, you misspelled my name (again)

Several nights ago I dreamt that I was sitting down at a desk with two tablets in front of me and at a fast pace trying to copy the things on one tablet to another actually as they were written on the first tablet. I was having a heck of a time. As soon as I finished copying one page I noticed I had left off and incorrectly written something down and it was in pen and ink I was in a hurry and quickly began frustrated. I had many dreams such as this when I was working.

I then realized why I had this dream. I was juiced up with Bloc energy gels made with green tea caffeine and when I went to pick up my running packet I was in a hurry. And before I got there I knew it would be mass confusion and unorganized - and it was. I get to the table someone directed me to then after waiting and I get up to the woman she tells me to go over to another table and look up my number then come back. So I had to do that! Why not have the numbers at the table where the big woman so comfortably sat on her butt I thought. So then I had to get back in line after I retrieved my number and made sure that I still remembered it correctly when I got up to her. Stupid! Have the list there! Morons!

She then she tries to find the tag with my number. It doesn't exist - so she sends me to yet another table where that woman is going to re-register me and hand me another numbered tag. I wait in line yet again. Then as directed I fill out another entry form. She waits. Then she copies my name, age and sex onto another form. She spells my name wrong. Right in front of me. She can't even copy my name correctly. I jump on this! "You misspelled my name" I rather harshly expressed. "Dang, right in front of you and can't copy it right!"

Hey, this happens all the time. I send two emails recently and spelling Dianne and in return email I see Diane. I don't do that! I go back and make sure! It's rude. I have a friend from France named Aurelie and Manisha. I made and still make sure that each time I spell their name correctly. People who reassign my name or try to "teach" me to spell it correctly aggravate me. It's disrespectful. And it happens all the time no matter where; no matter who. My last name has two n's also - that gets messed up by everyone too. It's rude. You don't arbitrarily decide to reassign and spell someones name the way you think it should be spelled.

Well the lady at the run package pick-up was the last straw so she got to hear about it! I mean come on - she was recopying one inch away - right in front of me.

I used to let it slide - but now I don't. You see I look up my stats on line and/or blog my name to get run results and more. So I have to spell my name six different ways from Sunday to finally find my results. And once again - it's just plain rude!
