I was just going to email this to my online son (he's not really my son, but I've adopted him) Jay-B, but decided that I'd just go ahead and share it with the world.

It just occured to me that the "B" might just be his middle initial. Most of my real life friends call me 'Lori D'. "D" is my middle initial. That started from the fact that in meetings I like to introduce myself as Lori D. (insert last name- here) I started adding my middle initial in my introductions as a joke, even at meetings at work, and really enjoyed the reaction it got. Especially from the execs. The reaction ranged from the double take, to the raised eyebrows to snickering. So, I just kept on going. I've been doing it for over 10 years now and still itch for when people ask me what the D stands for.

Ready? (I swear, I do this EVERY time, no matter who asks) It goes something like this...

..so what does the "D" stand for, Lori?

I usually add a pause for dramatic effect, then I say, "Dy-no-mite" said in my best Jimmy Walker voice.

Yep, it's true. Crazy that I've made it this far in my career, isn't it?

Ok...now you've made me snort. That was really funny. Yes the B is my middle name. Actually, my full name is Juan Bernardo Sauceda. I haven't gone by Juan since kindergarten though. In elementary I started just going by J.B. and it stuck all the way until high school when someone mentioned I should spell it like Jay-Z. Since people have occasionally called me J along the way, it switch back and forth between the two. I am glad to hear that the people you work for have a good enough sense of humor to allow for your use of Dynomite. Thanks mom, you always have to embarrass me.

Ha! I can just hear Jimmy Walker saying that! I used to watch that show as a kid. That's where Janet Jackson got her start, wasn't it?

Snoop Dog is SUCH a copycat.

I find it amusing that my initials are ECG,
considering I have a heart that doesn't work properly.
When people ask what my condition is, I say I'm permanently broken hearted. :-p
I don't have a cool intro though. Maybe I'll have to get a new name...
