Identity crisis

By nato - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my boss called me Dave. Now everyone actually thinks my name is Dave. It's Nathan. I've been working there for 2 years. FML

My boss calls me Jaclyn. I'm Kathleen. I even wear a name tag. But hey, we should take advantage of it. Do bad things, blame it on Dave. When they attempt to scold you, pull out your ID. "I'm Nathan."

Too bad he didn't call you Dirk. Dirk is much cooler.

... Dave is just as awesome as Dirk! Especially post-Scratch Dave.

63, it was definitely a Homestuck reference. If you'd checked the gender on my profile, I'm female and can not be Dirk without it being odd. Sorry to disappoint. At least somebody understands me.

39/72 I'm so glad you caught it. Dave is amazing, but I idolize Dirk. Dave is a very close second.

106, yes. Definitely. I love you, stranger. Ahem, really*. I'm really bad at this.

10-When you were 'little'? That was only four years ago. I guess you're 'all grown up now', huh?

Well now if you do something wrong just say no that was Dave and pull out your ID and say I'm Nathan.

Good job copying pretty much exactly what number 8 said

I know how it feels. It already sucks having your name being pronounced wrongly and to make that worse, your boss changed your name totally. It's okay. Maybe he just couldn't pronounce an Indian name and wanted to give you a nickname. Get used to it!;)

Nathan's an indian name that's hard to pronounce?

You have a free pass my friend. BOSS: "Who screwed up these figures?" YOU: "Must have been Nathan." BOSS: "Who pissed in the water fountain?" YOU: "Must have been Nathan." BOSS: "Who knocked up my secretary?" YOU: "Must have been Nathan." Run wild, run free, Dave is the good employee, Nathan is the bum...

I'd go about it the other way around if I was the OP.

He had a momentary brain fart Dave...Nathan...Dave...oh forget it.

Yea, just like those rugrats, MITM! "Anyway, what do you know about growing up, you're a ******* robot!!!! I'm on to you!!!" HUrrr DUrr

Just brush it off and correct them on it, Dave.
