My name is Ervin...not anything else.

I like my name. It's unique. If you know me, you can be happy to say that I am probably the only Ervin that you know. But with a name that is as "unique" as mine, sometimes people don't know how to spell it. And even when you spell it to them, they get it wrong. Or they think you say something else like Edwin, Irvwin, Irvine, Mervyn, Irving....you get the idea. But this past Saturday I got called a name I haven't heard in awhile.

"I got an order for Reuben...". I should just seriously be like that episode in Friends and have a coffee name.
