“I didn’t know you changed your last name too!”
Yesterday at work I was in a meeting where everyone didn’t know each other – I knew most everyone, but not *everyone*. I had been joking around with one of the other women there… basically being a pain. No surprise.”
When it came time for me to introduce myself, I said “Hi, I’m Megan Troublemaker.”
Without missing a beat, Betsy said:
“I didn’t know you changed your last name too!”
HA!
I almost fell off my chair laughing.
I pass this along for a couple reasons:
a) funny
b) my transition is transparent at work, and people have become so comfy with it, they joke with me about it.
Pretty cool!
