Don't call me Liz, BITCH.
Possible [info]political_wank? I'm posting it here, since the "politics" are largely incidental. So-and-so asks Jim McDermott's secretary for an audience, and addresses her poorly ('Liz' rather than 'Elizabeth'). HOLY SHIT, you did not just go there!

A few weeks ago, the assistant e-mailed Becton seeking a meeting with McDermott and a client, JPMorgan Chase. Days later, the assistant checked back in and unfortunately began the e-mail with “Hi Liz.”

Becton curtly replied, “Who is Liz?”

When the assistant wrote back with an apology, Becton turned up the heat. “I do not go by Liz. Where did you get your information?” she asked.

The back-and-forth went on for 19 e-mails, with the assistant apologizing six times if she had “offended” Becton, while Becton lectured about name-calling.


Please, please check out the email exchange hosted on Politico.

I saw that and thought of posting it too, but you beat me to it, Angsty McGothsalot.

I used to go off on uncles when they called me "Cait." Then again, I was eight.

Sounds like you got played by someone who KNOWS I hate that name and that it's a fast way to TICK me off. Who told you that I go by that name? They are not your friend...

CONSPIRACY!

Now I am curious. I always thought caito was pronounced the same as "kaitou", because phantom thieves are badass. But now I'm thinking it's more like "keito". Help?

You say 'po-tate-owe' and I say 'po-tight-owe'


Sorry, couldn't resist.

Me too! I was always reading it as Kie-toe, as in die-toe rhyming. Now I'll have to reprogram my mental head voice.

...I'm too tired to phrase that last part any better.
