  Hello everyone. My name is Jamie Clark. Not JAIME Clark. I had a professor last year who would always spell it wrong, even after I pointed it out to her (I still fear she spelled it wrong on my letters of rec, which must have looked bad); I emailed her last weekend looking for a copy of a syllabus from a course I took with her, and of course she sent her reply to good old Jaime.
I mean, the From: section of the email clearly says "Jamie" and I sign my emails "--Jamie". I just don't know. Noah's done the same thing on a couple emails, even though I know he's aware of the correct spelling as it was right with the CD he sent. Could that just be a really easy typo to make? If so, why don't I make that mistake now and then?
Ha. I know it's nothing to be upset about but it is one of my biggest pet peeves. I also had to deal with another one of Jamie's top pet peeves today, someone assuming I'm around 16 years old. It happens far more often than it should. I was buying a new dress (which is totally hot, if I must say so myself) and related accessories for Meghan's wedding, and the cashier asked if I wanted a Marshall Field charge card, but quickly stated, "Oh, but you have to be 18. You aren't old enough, are you. " Listen you old biddy, I'm 23. I was eighteen FIVE years ago... And of course, the typical response "Oh, you'll really appreciate it when you're older.
" Yeah, right. I'm not so sure I will. I'm not the type that will think it's cute to still be getting carded when I'm 35. But who knows, maybe I'll age poorly. Always possible, considering I live the archaeology lifestyle of lots of hard labor and time in the sun. I heard today that I'll be digging with a pick ax this winter. Nothing like that to build up the old biceps. Sweet.
