Graffiti.
I'm so bad about updating this thing.
I've been working 70 hours per week and taking a very difficult graduate class in Engineering at the University of New Hampshire. I would wake up at 4am to get into work on time by 6, work my 10 hours, drive straight to campus from work, attend class from 5 to 6 and get some homework done until 9pm at which time I would return to my condo and try to get some sleep before doing it all over again. Whew, I'm glad to be done with that for now.
I have 2 questions for you, my reader:
One is a poll-type question:
I'll be changing my name legally soon and I have certain criteria. I want the same initials (C.J.B.) and something feminine for which "Charlie" remains to be a oral nickname (spelling doesn't matter too much). I am thinking about a feminine spelling of Charlie or Charles which still looks feminine on paper, such as:
Charlize/Charlise/Charlea/Charli/Charleigh/Charlee Joy [same last name]
I'm interested in a vote on these (or suggestions):
1) Charlize
2) Charlea
3) Charlie
4) Charli
Also, I haven't given much thought to a simple middle name, so I'm open to suggestions there as well.
And the other is a hypothetical:
What would you do if you discovered your name featured in vulgar bathroom stall graffiti at your workplace?
I was moved to another room on the same floor and avoided my old area. The graffiti seemed to stop, but then I saw one of the people I suspected and the graffiti started again. I then obtained a handwriting sample from his desk after hours which was a perfect match in character formation and poor grammar. Just some older gynandromorphophile I suppose. I filed a formal complaint.
