So I went to the dentist for a checkup (all good, no cavities) and the woman with her two kids next to me (yes I still go to a pediatric dentist, fuck off, I go for the prizes) looked familiar, but I couldn't place where I knew her from.
When it hit me, it was Jennifer Aniston!
ok I lied. It was my freshman year English teacher, Mrs. Scott. I got the nerve to ask her if she was a teacher just to make sure and she turns around and her face lit up and she said,
"OH MY GOD! ROBERT! HOW ARE YOU?"
Ok, what is it with people thinking I'm a Robert? Do I look like a Robert? I mean yes I know that Richard and Robert are similar names, but only because they have 2 syllables and start with R. That is hardly a call for the confusion. It's not like Krisi and Kristi. Also it's not like there is a whole onslaught of Richards (atleast not since the 1950s *grumble*) so why can't people remember my name?
I used to think it was just because my best friend's name is Robert. But when I went to Savannah, I was still mistakenly called Robert. So there goes that theory.
The kicker to my dentist story is that when I corrected her and said "it's Richard" she replied "oh yeah....right. Anyways how are you doing?"
"Oh yeah...right." As in "Suuuuure it is." Like I was lying or that I was mistaken and my name really was Robert.
She always was sort of a bitch.
I guess I'll never know why I am called Robert.
But speaking of Robert he comes home on the 22nd, which unfortunately means I only have a few days with him before I leave on the 27th. That is going to be rough because I miss him and really need some time with him, but I have xmas, xmas eve, and packing time. I think it's 4 nights and 5 days...well 3 nights since I can't sleep over the 24th. Ugh. That sucks. This entire vacation I've wanted it to speed up, but I know that when the 22nd comes around I will want time to slow.
And it won't because like my old english teacher, time is also a bitch.
