just call me Wmeburg

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2013.08.13

Ah, fer cryin' out loud. I've opened an account with TD bank, and when my first statement arrived today it had the name Michael Wmeburg in place of my actual name. I tried calling them about it; they put me on hold for twenty minutes. I'd brought a book and didn't mind the wait, but even then I'd told myself "only twenty minutes" and cut it short. Looks like it'll be one of those relationships.

It's not the first time someone's mis-spelled the name.

The point isn't revenge. It is justice. Revenge is like a wave that washes up on shore - it always washes back out again. Justice is like the shore - it's still there after the wave comes and goes.
