denise would like to know how we use the update page.
This lolcat is relevant to knitters, particularly knitters with cats.
Odd thing I have been remembering off and on: last week, I had to call my credit card issuer because my card got demagnetized. While on the phone with Super Helpful Guy, I got an accidental 'sir.' I'm mostly amused, somewhat mystified. All he would have had to go on were my name and voice, but I'm actually leaning towards "completely random fuckup."
My legal name is Dominique, which is a female name in the US, which is where Super Helpful Guy seems to have been located; I was named after my great-grandfather, because French. For some reason, I get called Dominic to my face a lot - the American pronunciation of Dominique is almost the same: eek versus ick at the end, and apparently some people can't manage the eek. IDK.
I suppose I should state for the record that I'm cis and female, and unambiguously so. I am always surprised when I hear recordings of my voice (to the point where I avoid them when possible), because my voice always sounds too high - what my own ears perceive as I speak is much lower than what other people apparently get.
So, random fuckup. I keep wandering back to it, sometimes to lol and sometimes to poke at how unimaginably sucky it would have been for someone without the privilege of laughing it off.
