This is not a name.
Let alone my name.
Please find me some one with this name.
I dare you.

Reading is Harder than Listening

The following phone conversation just took place at my office. This is not at all an exaggeration of what just happened.

Me: This is Cara
Her: Hi this is... wait, how do you pronounce your name?
Me: Cara
Her: Oh! I was trying to decide how to pronounce it.
Me: What were you deciding between?
Her: I didn't know if it was Cara or Sara
Me: Why would it be Sara if it starts with a "C"?
Her: I don't know. Some people are just crazy.

You ma'am. YOU are just crazy.

Umami

My lunch order today from Umami Burger

Now again, I didn't put in this order. The production office called.
But it's nice to know that people are deaf in other places besides Starbucks.
I'm also not quite sure what this even says... is it K-L-A-R-A? or K-I-A-R-A?
And why are those options for names?
That's not my name.

Afternoon Delight

Starbucks
Van Nuys, CA

I didn't order this paticular beverage myself. Our lovely office PA went out to get us all a little afternoon pick-me-up.
But I am pretty sure that she didn't tell them my name was Carol.
