Damson is considered (by some!) to be a slightly unusual name but it isn't actually my legal first name. That would be Jessica...I know, I know, that makes me Jessica Damson Tregaskis. It seems my parents decided to go completely insane with the last two names then try and cover it up with the first one (even though they've always called me Damson)! So I'm on the system at Marks as Jessica, however when I started last week they told me they'd ordered a Damson badge but they didn't have a Jessica badge for me to wear until it came so I had a choice between Jenny and Debbie. I chose Jenny. All the people I work with know I'm called either Damson or Jessica so there's a bunch of people who call me Jess and about an equal amount who call me Damson. My line-manager-person-thingy today called across the cafe as so:
"Jenny...er Jess sorry...no that's wrong Damson, I'm so sorry!"
Although I have noticed some people are calling me Tamsin. So I basically respond to anything these days. I'm thinking of trying to persuade them all to call me Bill or Egbert or something just for fun!
