Yesterday at work I got an email from someone in my district I had never heard of. This was his email:
Please send *student name* to room 222 during Conference Hour Thursday.
I do not know this person, do not have that student, we don't have a room 222 at our school, and don't have "conference hour."
So I emailed him back saying that he must've sent the email to the wrong person.
His reply:
Do you have this student during 4th hour? If you do send her to my room during Conference Hour to take an exam and she will returned at the start of 4th hour.
With in-district email you can mouse over their name and get details like what department/school they are from. I noticed that he was from one of the high schools so I replied:
I noticed that you are at CHS, I am at Weinberg Elementary . . . "
I get a reply from him saying:
Sorry!!! We have a new teacher who has the same first name and I assumed that you were the person who taught my student 4th hour.
Now, one of the features in our district email system is that when you start typing a name it brings up what person it thinks you are emailing in alphabetical order. If you aren't careful you could pick the right first/last name but the wrong person. Apparently there is now a person in the district with the first name "Nasreen" and even spells it the same way.
In my excitement I emailed her to tell her how cool it was not only to meet another Nasreen (I've only met one other in my life) but to also be working in the same district. Her reply:
Hi,
They are lots of Nasreen's in the world. It is a very common name. Thanks for responding.
Who is this woman?! I'm thinking she might actually come from another country because in the US, this is definitely not a common name. There may be a few more in the world, but it certainly isn't common! I don't think she deserves the namesake herself. She should have been all "*squeee* that is so neat-o awesome!" Instead she was a lame buzz kill.
