So all of you know by now that there are some people in this world who can’t seem to grasp the difference between Daniel (male) and Danielle (female). I’m used to being called Daniela at times but Daniel...Daniel!?!
See above for the most recent incident. There’s no mistaking it for anything other than Daniel. What hurts me most is that this was written by a work colleague...a friend! Someone I’ve worked with for nearly 2 years. Let’s just say it’s a good job she feeds me chocolate. Oh, and before you ask, there is nobody named Daniel who works in our office. This is definitely meant for me *sigh*
But fear not, I feel there is light at the end of the tunnel. I received the following email last week:
Hi Danielle
Do you remember when I rang you about 4:15pm yesterday. Well Jill was stood behind me when I spoke to you and she said I called you Daniel instead of Danielle, so I don't know if you actually noticed but if I did it was only a slip of the tongue and I apologise, I was in a bit of a panic. I had a problem...and needed it sorting before I left at 4:30pm so was probably a bit anxious, but I thought about it last night and felt I had to email and say sorry.
Best wishes and sorry for my slip
Flipping heck, I think word is spreading fast! It would be nice to think that one day I can live in a world where everyone knows how to correctly say/spell my name, hmm...
