Echoes.

While I’ve enjoyed many aspects of my ever-changing life, especially during these three whole months of marriedness, one thing that I have NOT enjoyed is changing my name.

Not that I don’t like my new last name.
I do.
I just like it better after Nick’s first name.  It’s familiar and comforting that way.
Much less so after my name, which is why I’ve chosen to go by my full name instead of abbreviating.  A mixture of comfort and familiarity combined with new exciting future.
After all, 30 years of one name doesn’t make the jump any easier… especially for one as stubborn as me.

Mostly it’s fine and dandy.

Sometimes…  it’s just a litany of repeated spellings and pronunciations.
Today though – a bit of humor to go along with the incorrectness of it all.

A client called in to the 1-800 number at work requesting to speak to me… only.  Not me.
Instead of “Alisha Labello” this client requested “Lisa Libido.”

Luckily the operator didn’t put two and two together until a moment or so after the frustrated client hung up – or one might have had to cue the 70s disco music.
