Please. *Please.* I'm begging you: put a post-it or something on your monitor, or make an e-mail alias, or do *something*, to remind you that I am not the [my name] you're looking for. Yours is [e-mail address], and when you do a global search on "[my name]" her name is the one that comes up with "Health Center" in its description. I'm just a (former) graduate student. Please. One of these days I'm going to get something intended for her, and it's going to be some sort of sensitive information, and I'm not going to realize I have it for like six days, and it's going to matter.

Thanks.

good GOD.

I got one or two pieces of email sophomore year when a girl with my same first initial and last name came to Georgetown. But after one or two? Nothing. They quickly figured it out. Yeesh.

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't get paid last Friday because they paid the wrong [my name]. You would think that they would realize that my salary is a bit much for a grad student who is only allowed to work 10 hours a week at $10/hour.
