Angela Pradic?

Most of my life, I never had to worry about people misunderstanding my name. Angela Parker is very easy to pronounce and spell. I could laugh at other people's name spelling woes, like my friend Kristin, who when she arrived at Girl Scout camp, told the registrar that her name was spelled with two I's and received a name tag that read Kriisten.

However, times have changed and I've entered into a whole new arena with my married last name. Having been warned by JR, I was fully prepared for Radick, Roddick, etc. But the one that I find by far the most amusing stems from my email address. My company uses a first initial + middle initial + last name email address, but so many other companies use a first initial + last name email address that people want to tack the P of my middle name onto my last name, thus rendering me Angela Pradic. I've become my own mash up.

Anyway, I've tried out some different techniques, but JR's remains the most effective: "It's like radical, without the al on the end."

Yours truly,
Angela Pradic
