Embarrassing
Yesterday, a potential client asked me for an email address. I rattled off won***@wondersnet.c** mindlessly, it being one of the easier emails I have to “get” over the phone.
When he asked if that’s my website, I really didn’t have too much choice but to say “yes”. (What could I say, “nah, I just use it because it matches my name.”?)
The phone line got kind of quiet for as minute as I was opening another tab to pull up my site, all the while keeping my mind on his problem with his site. Maybe he wasn’t doing what I was doing because his next question was, “is that where you advertise your web service or whatever?”
As I was seeing the wannabee tag line pop into view all I could say is “no, not really”.
