Yes, I have lived in NJ all of my life. Why does that matter?
You can typically tell if someone is disappointed, or just interested, by the sound of their tone. How are you sure it was my imagination? I did say in my original post he outright told me he didn't care for my name.
Maybe he is used to women keeping their maiden names and so was really trying to figure out why you didn't keep your maiden name.
A lot of women do that and I have noticed that almost without exception, my friends who have moved here (NC) from NE states and are in banking have kept their maiden names. And most of my friends who are attorneys kept their maiden names.
Just throwing that out there. I would have been puzzled by it, too, especially the protracted discussion.
Was the attorney an older gentleman? Before the PC police told us we should be offended about questions regarding our name, rank, or serial number, people actually shared thoughts and opinions about such things. I doubt he was trying to offend you.
I wouldn't have been offended since I prefer nice Italian names too . But seriously, I wouldn't have. It's just passing convo and I'm not easily offended and usually laugh at people who attempt to offend me on purpose, especially when they think they are being sly and clever.
LOL.. Happens everyday to someone. If you have an issue with the Attorney bring it up to your employer but just understand that may work against you. At time I will get the why can't other's (people of my race) be like you or things of that nature.
Here's how I handle people like that. I just understand there are more good people in the world than bad and move on. That being said of course everyone has their own limitations.
No, definitely not. He was rude, but that doesn't mean you need to be also. Better to keep good relationships at your job than to "give someone a piece of your mind" when that can't really have any positive result. A smart person in this case says nothing, but of course, doesn't forget.
