I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU CALL ME.. JUST CALL ME !!!!

Yes that is correct, call me anything ( well, that is suitable for my ears ) just call me. I will come running !!!

Last week I received a voice mail and the caller was calling for HOME STYLE AND STAGING and would like to speak with Mary Lou Teague , however the last name was pronounced as " T Q". So I returned the nice man's phone call promptly and clearly stated, "Hello this is Mary Lou Teague, with Home Style and Staging" returning your call"...he then says Oh Hello Ms "T Q", thanks for getting back to me so soon.

You know I figure he can call me "Ms T Q" all day long..as I got the job.

I will just have to make sure that when it comes time to write the check he gets the name right !!!

Great attitude. Some people don't pay attention to names and won't' be bothered with asking for the correct pronunciation. Instead of being rude and making a big deal out of that issue it's best to move on with the real job and get to work. Good luck

Love your pictures! If he had said QT instead of TQ it would have come out sounding like CUTIE! Anyway, you impressed him with your prompt reply and I am sure he will remain impressed - looks like you do great work.

Mary Lou,

I agree with you. The cashier at Home Depot who sees me at least once a day calls me Pam. I just roll with it. Now it's been going on for so long I can't correct him.

I agree! I get called Tara all the time, and I don't mind at all...even if they write my name backwards on the check, it doesn't appear to be a problem at the bank, lol!

Mary Lou, very often I say, just call me Anna;-) As for the check I prefer my company name on it to be sure that it will be no misspellings.
