i thought i'd relate a story from the other night, when a sales clerk looked at my credit card, looked at my last name, and said "huh, thats an interesting spelling, i've never seen that spelling before... it looks sorta norwegian." which in itself isnt a strange thing. except for one small detail.
i'm CHINESE.
uh. hello? i hear norwegian, i have images of blonde hair, blue eyes... not what you usually associate with a chinese person.

in all day meetings these next few days. fun! at least its with some vendors who are friends of mine and are really cool.
