A New Challenge

These last couple of weeks I have had to cope with a whole new experience. It's probably normal for other people, but for me, at the age of 30, I'm having to learn new behaviours.

There is someone at my work who has the same name as me. Where I am from, my name was unique, and even where I live now, it is rare enough. More often than not, I have had to handle people calling me something that is NOT my name, such as the more common Laura or Lauren, but never have I had people around me with my name before.

I guess it kindof makes me feel unsettled - having to figure out who is being spoken about each time my name is mentioned.

  1. Why is is unsettling, do you think?

  2. That was probably the wrong word to choose, but I couldn't think of a better one. It's just such an unusual situation for me to be in. I'm used to having a relatively unused name ... and to have someone else in close proximity with the same name is simply really strange for me ...
