Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Graeme(aka Hay)has a birthday; Amie and Alan did.

I've had a few good ones cracked at my expense but the most embarassing one was at a meeting a few years back.

As you know, most companies will usually have some variation of your first name and first letter of last name or first initial of first name and last name as your email address which is followed by @company.com

So, I had ran out of business cards and one of the people wanted my contact info and my co-worker pipped up, "It's easy to remember Gay with a silent H @companyname.com"

Not the impression I was wanting left with one of our vendors but it was good for a couple akward laughs. More so after work and some beers.

In case anyone was wondering, my name is Graeme and the handle "Hay" is my last name. ghay@

I have always envied those who have short names (not that mine is all that long), which, thus, can be written quickly.

I feel the same about addresses. I once lived on Wolf Rd. As simple as that was, I still envied those who lived on Oak or Elm. My current street name is considerably longer. However, it's still easier to write than my brother's current address. He now lives on East Town and River Road. The SOB that thought that one up should be summarily executed.

No wait! That's getting off too easily. He should be required to write one of the addresses on that street (city, state, and 9 digit zip code included) 500 times each day for the remainder of his life. That'd teach 'im.
