use it to your advantage. Just blame all of your fuckups at work on this Brandon guy, and watch as your boss tries to fire Brandon.

I like the way you think. I know most of the people here at work by now and have yet to meet a Brandon, so there shouldn't even be some poor SOB that gets caught in the crossfire.

LMAO. You get named Brandon with one thread. I am still 'Lifer' after all these years.

You must really look like a Brandon.

There is a country song out right now about some old lady that keeps calling the guy "Raymond" or something due to dementia. Maybe he is senile?


(damn GF listening to country :( )

Consider yourself lucky. I have a uni-sex name. When people come looking for me at the office, they are always looking for a girl. And Latinos can never pronounce my name correctly for some reason....

Is it Kim? I know guys named Kim, but it's still not a name that should be used on both sides. I've never once heard the name "Kim" and thought "oh that's probably a guy"

Is your last name Stubblefield, McLemore or Hall?

When I started at my current job, the only other white guy quit, I've been called Tim for nearly a year now.

Wouldn't bother me, but he was kind of a sociopath and gay, we're talking dress up in drag gay too, he'd come into work with makeup on some days.

Sigh...

Hmmmm, a man with a unisex name that others immediately consider a woman's name, eh?

I'd go with Carol or Leslie or Marion, but then you add that it's one Latinos have trouble pronouncing.

:hmm:

I dunno. Ainsley?

My area's pretty nice. Technically Granger, so north of SB. Pretty much every store you could ask for within 5-10 minutes drive which makes life easy. I'll probably be moving closer to Valpo though when my lease is up. Closer to Chicago, ~the same distance from work in the other direction, a lot less in rent but still a nice area. Just have to find a decent place to live.
