My name is two female first names but both could be either first or second names. For example: Leigh May
Sometimes people get confused and call me by my surname. This is easily done and, when its appropriate, I correct people.
At work, however, people seem fucking incapable of getting into their thick fucking heads that my first name is Leigh and my second name is May. I've been there nearly two years, it's a professional, career-y workplace (i.e. not a high turnover of staff) and my line manager does it a lot.
It makes me feel undervalued to be honest. I correct people when it happens but it keeps happening.
I know I probably am BU and I'm a bit emotional anyway but it's really getting me down. Eurgh. I just wanted to rant.
