My Name

Yesterday I received a book from Amazon.com. It seemed funny because I didn't remember ordering anything. I order stuff online all the time, so maybe I ordered stuff a while back and just forgot. I opened it up to see a Poly Sci book. Now I didn't like my Political Science class when I took one 8-9 years ago. I sure as hell wasn't going to buy a book now. Upon closer inspection, I saw that it was actually addressed to one Scott Mackenzie who also works at UCD. Somehow his department got a hold of it, and shipped it off to me, totally bypassing him.

These types of things happen to me all the time because people don't seem to think that Mackenzie is a first name, especially for a guy. There are times that I thought it would be cool if I could name my kid Mackenzie also, but things like this make me not wish to impart such easily avoided hassles onto the next generation.

Current Mood : I have to go all the way to the other side of campus!
Current Music : Some orchestra music from Mario Galaxy

Ya, I picked it up from the office yesterday, I saw the name switch, but thought Amazon people got it wrong, as I know happens a lot to you. That is annoying :(
