I signed up for a program at the law school where I get a tour of the school and get to sit through a mock class – complete with an assignment and everything!

Anyway, I emailed the person who is in charge of everything inquiring about the dress code for the day. My email went like this:

“Dear Mr. ________,

What do you recommend we wear on Saturday?

Thank you!”

She responded with:

“The attire for the program is casual.

At your service,

Ms. ________.”

OMG. I feel RETARDED. It was a name that I have never heard of, and automatically assumed it was a male name. Deleting the email from my inbox made me feel a tiny bit better, but still!
