Hey it's Stephanie

Over the last week, it's become obvious that I have a speech impediment. It's not an obvious one, like a stutter or the inability to pronouce the word "serious" without it sounding like "seewee-us." Apparently my speech impediment has to do with the ability to say my own name. Somehow the "s" in "this is" blends in with the "Bethany" in "this is Bethany" and ends up sounding like Stephanie. I've been leaving messages all over the US and Canada saying "This is Stephanie" and regardless of talking to them many times previously, people seem to think that miraculously, we have people named Stephanie and Bethany both working here. I blame everyone but myself.
