Work Entry

After all the time I spent working on my degree in English Literature, I went out and got a job doing debt collection and debt consolidation. Makes sense doesn’t it?

All day long I work on the phone talking to strangers, and all day long I spend way too much time explaining why my name is September. It seems people find it strange or/ and they don’t believe me. I called a client named April the other day and she hung up on me because she thought I was making fun of her name.

My micro- managing boss has decided I should take a new name. This means I will have to change it legally on my collectors license and that I’ll be stuck with whatever name I choose for quite some time. 

After years of badgering my mother for giving me such a odd-ball name and taking crap from…….everyone, I find myself reluctant to give it up. I honestly can’t think of any name I want to call myself for eight hours a day.

Any suggestions?

Go Well
