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.

At this point in my life, I've gone by so many variations on Katherine that I will pretty much answer to any of them indiscriminately and not bother to correct any of them. I currently prefer to go by Kay, but that is one that really just goes in one ear and out the other.

Me: Hello, my name is Kay.
Them: Did you say your name is Kate?
Me: No, it's Kay.
Them: (introducing me to someone else) Hi, I have Katie here...
