I made dinner reservations for Thanksgiving for myself, my sons, my sister and her husband.
I used opentable. Opentable has an account under my "Meg" name. I didn't really think anything about it until Monday when I got a call from an unknown number.
"Hello?"
"May I speak to Meg Winters?"
I was at work, and more than a bit confused. Sometimes, t-friends call and say "hi Meg," but this wasn't one of them.
"She's not here; can I take a message?"
"I'd like to confirm..."
She was from the restaurant and wanted to make sure we were coming.
"I can do that" and I confirmed.
It's a good thing I was reminded the reservation was under Meg's name! I called back the next day and said Meg won't be there, could they place it under my male name instead. They did so.

Meg -
ReplyDeleteThat's why I'm glad that I have a name that can be used in both modes - Marian is only a pen name.... But even so, I have to watch out.
