06. 4.08 Wine: The Gift That Keeps On Giving

About a month ago I did some web-type work on Librarian Girl's blog. Her friend did the header, I did the rest, and everyone else lived happily ever after.

LG insisted on paying me, but I refused to let her do any such thing. So the other day I got this email:

"Watch for a bottle of wine in your mail soon. I normally wouldn't announce the gift-giving ahead of time since that's kind of weird, but there wasn't really a spot for me on the order form to send you a card along with it, so I didn't want you to receive a mysterious bottle of wine and not know that it was from me."

Sweet, no? It might have been sweeter if I hadn't received a second email a few minutes later.

"Ok, this is the most-prefaced gift ever given, but I have to say one more thing.

The dude on the phone when I ordered the wine (it's from a local vineyard outside Seattle) didn't write your name down right. I just got my receipt...for delivery to JOEL Eisenberg.

Now it's going to look like I don't even know YOUR NAME. Not true! Not true!

I never cease to get myself into embarrassing situations.

Have a great day, Joel."

Oh LG. As long as I get my booze, you can call me whatever you want.

Josh, Joel, Warren Weisenheimer... I can't keep track.

Sadly, this is nowhere near the most embarrassing thing I have done all week.
