That's not my name!

I have had a variety of jobs over the years and while my jobs and job titles may have changed, one thing has remained constant – my name. That sounds as though it should be obvious but I have been called so many names over the years that I sometimes wonder. I used to work for a civil engineering company and quite a few people rang up looking to speak to a man called Jacqui. Needless to say they were confused when I was revealed to be a woman. I have also been called Maggie, Aggie and once rather memorably, Peter.
I have also been called Deirdre as apparently I look like I should be called Deirdre. I also have a lot of people who can't spell my name, and I get lots of random emails from people as well. Ah well, the joys of having a name like mine!

Some of my clients thought I was a man because of my name. To their surprise, I'm not.
