So, our great receptionist at work shared an encounter she had on my behalf. As you should know my name is Feather. So, few people get this the first time whether it is in person or on the phone. Even the other folks in my office have to generally explain my name to the caller, "That will be handled by Feather. No, Feather...like a bird." Hence the name of my blog.
The receptionist told me that someone called in and needed assistance. It would be something that I would handle, so she was explaining that to the caller. After repeated attempts to explain that yes my name was in fact Feather. He was convinced that my name was Seather...Finally he got it! He then said, "Ok, I will need to visit with Feather. Do you know when he will be available?"...HE? Isn't Feather unique enough...but to assume that I am a fella with that name...HA...Hope there aren't any male Feather's out there...you may have more difficulty explaining your name than I... :)

That is so funny. I would never assume that Feather was a male name. My name is Adriane, which in the Latin culture is generally male, so I have the same problem, cuz I'm not male.
