My name - and a funny story!

Well, I think I've said in my other posts that I'm currently in my psychiatry clinical. So far, I worked this past weekend both days from 7am to 7pm. I worked in a women's setting, a pediatric setting, and a geriatric setting. I don't like psychiatry, but pediatrics is definitely my favorite. The stories there are still --> 
But anyhow...I spent Sunday afternoon working in geriatrics. I was asked to get vital signs on a few of the patients who were sitting in our open living room. I was talking to this one gentleman, and he asked my name. I told him it was "Carrie."
His response was, "Oh...Carrie? I can't call you that. It reminds me too much of tele...tele...."
Me: "Stephen King's Book?"
Him: "Yeah that's it."
Me: " Ohhhh ok. Well why don't you call me Liz. A lot of people call me by that. It's my middle name."
He was okay with that!! I knew there was a reason I kept those two names in use! bwahaha 
BruceD, if you are still around and reading this, make sure you pass this story on to your wife! She'll laugh for sure 
Hugz,
Lizzie2/Carrie

LMAO you two!! Broomie, that book cover is hilarious!! When I read the book for some reason, I think the cover was different!! My best friend and I chose to read that book in junior high for a book report...she refused to ever read Stephen King again after that!!!
Cybil would have been a good choice hehehe.
In actuality, my mother named me after the baby Carrie on Little House on the Prairie. My dad wanted to name me Elizabeth, but that is my cousin's name...and she is just over a year older than me! My grandfather wanted to name me Melody, which would have fit well with the fact that I went to college for music. Then I think my dad's other choice was Kate.
If I'd have been a boy, I would have gotten my brother's name..Michael. If he was a girl, he would have been named Shelley!! Woohoo!! When he was a kid, I used to put him in a dress and call h im Shelley. ROFL.
