Oops

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.

  2. Meg -

    That'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.
