Some Stuff in my Day

Today I saw a truck with 2 bumper-stickers. One had a huge flag waving and said “I support Bush” and the other said “If i ever get a hold of reality I will choke it” with the words “CHOKE IT” in big electro-font. This made me think a cell phone with a digital camera might not be as useless as I had thought.

On another topic, my name is Judson. Now, when you tell people that, like when you’re ordering food, or at some other customer service interaction, it rarely is heard correctly, I’ve had Justin (of course, this is so close I usually don’t even correct people) Jeremy, Jason, Geronimo (no shit) etc… I’m not unaccustomed to this, so the conversation usually goes like this:

“Can I get your name?”

“yes, Judson, J-U-D-S-O-N” (and i watch them write it out if possible, pausing where needed)

Today though when i got to the “D” she stopped writing abruptly, as if surely nothing could come after that. I couldn’t see what she wrote either. When my order was ready some other person had to read whatever she had written. Club-Cho was what I heard. He obviously thought it was not a real name either, and just said what I had ordered instead. The weird part is that she didn’t pause at all, J-U-D, ALL-RIGHT! Club-Cho it is!!
