JOSHIU

Okay, this got my attention today. I have accepted that for the rest of my life people are not going to say/spell my name correctly. It may bother me every now and then, but I generally believe most people want to try to say my name correctly. I never demand that they get it right or offended if they blow it. As a child, even I struggled with my name, spelling it wrong or pronouncing it incorrectly. If I had trouble then there is no reason to believe that others wouldnt. I have been called Josh, Joshi, Joshua, Joe-sue, Joe-sue-ee, Josh-shwe, Josie, HOce, Hoser, Hoes-way, Sway, Jose (countless times) even Ho-o-sway can you see. . .(shaking my head as I say it). The list goes on. I do whatever I can to help. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. But today, made me smile. I faxed ordered a yummy burrito for lunch today with my name spelled correctly. Did it come back that way? Side Note: Yes I logically see why some people call me Joshua when they see Josue whether people are truly aware that they are translations of the each other. It is reaching but I can see it. But, spelled Joshiu? Please! And its is generally safe to say that a latino made my burrito, although I could be wrong. I really shouldnt assume. But comeon. A fellow latino probably did put my order together. Well I have another name to add to my list.

Thinking of all this puts an idea into mind. I should work on an inventing a name tag that repeats the name written on phonetically. Wouldnt that be great? . . .
