Calling people the wrong name
I don’t know why I’ve been doing this lately. It’s only really happening with one person at work. Her name is Beverly and lately I’ve been calling her Gail. I have no idea why. Beverly is my team leader here at work. Gail was my supervisor at my old job. (It’s really the same position just a different job title.)
They don’t look anything alike so I don’t understand it at all. It’s not like I’m trying to be a smart alec or anything. I just call her by the wrong name. Most of the time I catch myself and I’m able to say the right name. When the wrong name does slip out she just laughs and shakes her head. I’m lucky that it doesn’t happen often and Beverly is a good sport about it.
Has this ever happened to you? What did you do about it?
