In China it's very common for people in business to give themselves a western name to make it easier to deal with foreigners who don't know how to say Chinese names. That's often a very common name, but today I got spam from someone who chose to go with Sauron, which might be close to their given name but probably isn't the spelling they should go with.

@gudenau@mastodon.technology The pens are traditionally given to guests as souvenirs.

Teller at the credit union drive through looked at my written instructions, verbally confirmed correctly what I wanted, proceeded to deposit to the wrong account. (also one of my accounts so I can just do a transfer through their web site, but I shouldn't have to)

Accountant is coming out tomorrow so of course I got the tax planner in an email today. Related: apparently password protected PDFs are a thing and Okular handles them just fine.
