  • Dear Dyslexia....

    ... you son of a bitch!

    Yes, I have dyslexia, which makes life sooooo much fun. Like when I'm reading and my brain substitutes a completely different word than what is printed. I call these "happy accidents" mental Freudian slips. One of which lead to tonight"s conversation with my customer experience manager.

    Me: I just totally misread a customer's shirt.
    CEM: makes a "I'm listening, continue" hum
    Me: It was homemade with some of the iron letters we sell.
    CEM: makes another "continue" hum
    Me: It read "V is for vegatrian"
    CEM:
    Me:
    CEM: Oh my God!
    Me: Yep
    CEM: "V is for..."
    Me: "Vagatrian"
    CEM: You need a shirt like that
    Me: I so need a shirt like that

    Reminds me of the opposite that happened to a female wrestler in WWE, Victoria.

    She posted online that she'd bought this shirt that she thought had read "Contaminated."

    Then she found out it wasn't an "o" in that word, but a completely different vowel.

    She had to get rid of that shirt quick.

      Uhmmm, 'A'? 'E'? 'Q'?
      Figers are vicious I tell ya. They crawl up your leg and steal your belly button lint.

      I'm a case study.

        So I just switched my drivers' license from my old state to my new one. My new state mails out the actual license. I didn't realize until several days later that I'd inverted the last two digits of my address. I went online and changed it, but there's no telling if I'll actually get the new license. The version with the inverted numbers doesn't actually exist, and I told the mail carrier, so there's a chance I'll get it, but yeah, dyslexia sucks.
