I don’t like change.

I got a new computer at work yesterday and I don’t like.  It has the newest operating system and it’s different from what I had before.

My old email program isn’t compatible with this new OS so I have to get used to another one.

The IT man misspelled my name on the server.

And to top it all off, I was introduced to someone last evening and the new acquaintance shortened my name to one syllable.

Pat.

My name is Patricia and I go by “Patti”.  With an “i”.  And I’ve always spelled with an “i”.

When I was in first grade, I remember the student teacher helping me print my name.  She said it was misspelled and sent a note home with me to my mother.  My mother wrote back and told the student teacher that my name was spelled correctly.  With an “i”. 

Don’t change my name.
