Today, my boss called me Dave. Now everyone actually thinks my name is Dave. It's Nathan. I've been working there for 2 years. FML

My boss calls me Jaclyn. I'm Kathleen. I even wear a name tag. But hey, we should take advantage of it. Do bad things, blame it on Dave. When they attempt to scold you, pull out your ID. "I'm Nathan."

If you like it, thumb it. Don't let the hard work of adding the thumb option be in vain. :(

I have a friend named Nathan. OP has it good. My friend doesn't have a job.

Have you been working there for 2 years though? HAVE YOU, NATHAN? ... If that IS your real name...

Whoa, calm down. His name is Nathan and he's been there for two years.

Since when? Theatre, movie industry, modeling, politics, television, appeal, what's wrong with it for them or for other men really?

54, you must be new here. I've put up with people like you, and all I have to say to you is that you can't judge me by my cover. I may be different, but I'm beautiful. Open your mind.

I think I'm gonna need to state my constant sarcasm in my profile soon. Hoped it wouldn't come to this...
Lioness8197 18
I got the sarcasm, the capitalized letters made it seem a little spazz like.

You have 42 comments -__- I think we all knew your sarcasm, we just thought it was bad. Hence the down votes.

Well, that go in the vault of most ignorant comments...

Don't worry, 72. I thought your comment was funny.

Everyone knows a Dave. Not everyone knows a Nathan.

Me either I think.

The first Dave I met was my step-grandpa when I was 12 or 13

I know like 3 Nathans. I've never known a Dave.
afallingstar 22
My sons name is Nathan and my boyfriends name is Dave...so I know both...
sens3sfailing 25
I know 2 Nathans and 2 Davids...does this mean I win or lose?
evamusical 12
I can see where those names got mixed up: I guess OP's boss is a fan of 'six feet under'.

I thought you were Fred......

But we're not stupid, mum, we know we're called Gred and Forge!

Take this as an opportunity to reinvent yourself, OP. Now you can finally become the masked vigilante that your city so desperately needs.

I'm the hero the office needs, but not the one it deserves.

He can cut his hair and pretend to be Nathan, and the boss will let him get supervised by that "Dave" guy

Op *punches boss* Boss: what the hell. Who are you? Op *Holds up fake I.D. and walks out room* Boss *Finds him and asks what the hell Dave* Op *Show real I.D. with Nathan on it* Boss: Ok, have a nice day Nathan, If you see Dave let me know.

Your boss must not know you that well if he's getting your name wrong. Now is a good time to make another first impression.

When I was little I thought Osama and Obama were related because of the similar names.

Call your boss by a different name. When he corrects you, correct him.

Well you can be two people now! *knocks boss's coffee to the ground* "Don't look at me - it was Dave."
