Embarrassing E-mail addresses: Evidence of the inner kid inside all of us.

I am the proud account holder of a very childish e-mail address. It's a combination of my obsession with Star Wars and John Lennon. I'm very proud of my very childish and somewhat dumb e-mail address, no doubt...but one day, on the first day of my legal attachment...something happened...

Lawyer: Ok Faisal, I am going to send you a few documents for you to look at. I want you to study them and make the appropriate amendments.


Kid Law Student: Ok ma'am, no problem *childish smirk due to extreme excitement over getting proper "legal" assignment*


Lawyer: Alright, good boy. Give me your e-mail address.

Kid Law Student: *silent*


Lawyer: Faisal? Your e-mail address please?


You see, apart from my Star Wars/Lennon themed childish e-mail address, I also have one "professional" not-embarrassing e-mail address. One for play, and one for work. I would usually use my "professional e-mail address for "serious" matters. Problem was, I had difficulties accessing my "professional" e-mail address since the past few days. So I had no choice but to give her my Star Wars/Lennon themed e-mail address.


Kid Law Student: *mumbling dumb immature e-mail address*


Lawyer:.....come again...


Kid Law Student: *mumbling dumb immature e-mail address*


Lawyer:..*smiles*


Sigh..I went to the office looking my best. Crisp white shirt. Jet black slacks with a jet black tie to match...black leather shoes..looking like the real deal. I left the office feeling like a retarded 6 year old Star Wars geek.


Moral of the story: Create back up professional e-mail addresses. If you don't, and if you're a guy, and you kantoi with your senior, you will feel like nothing short of being emasculated.
