10 Names My Bosses Have Called Me That Aren't My Real Name

In This Article:

For the past two years, I've worked in either service or hospitality jobs where you kind of get used to people treating you as less than human. Personally, the best part of starting a new job for me is seeing just how long it takes for the boss in charge to actually learn my name, which surprisingly takes about a full month. I know my name is a little odd, since it's spelled differently ("an 'i' in Andrea??"), but apparently it really stumps my superiors, as you can see from the list below of all the names my bosses have called me that aren't my actual name.

Andrea

Okay, I understand this one, I guess.

Adriana

This one is pretty close, just a little scrambled.

Ariana

Getting a little colder...

Angie

I'm sorry, who?

Angelica/Angelina

Now this is a completely different person.

Anjalie

I'm not sure they even really listen when I say my name anymore.

Ondria

I'm not even 100% sure this is a name.

ADRIA

I'm definitely sure this ISN'T a name (at least, it's definitely not MINE).

Amanda

Um, idk her.

Adrian

I've gotten this one a few times, which is upsetting as it is a male name.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
