One down...

Previously I bitched (me? never) about a publishing gig: http://kickaha.livejournal.com/167105.html

Coda: The book is out, I got my author's copy, and they managed to get most of it right in the end.

They did, however, drop my middle initial from my name for no reason.

Which is kind of an issue. No, really, it's documented.

Ah well. It's done.

I feel your pain, believe me.

I'm not even the only Brian M. Gray in PubMed. *sigh*

Congrats on getting the book in. Sigh, names. I keep getting confused with the other writer in the field with my first and last name. I wish one of us would consistently use a middle initial, and it should probably be him :).

The chapter list on the publisher's website seems to have your middle initial. If you can call "McC." an initial. :)

There are some benefits to having a somewhat unique and memorable name, I admit. :)

Heh. Try Googling "George Mitchell" sometime.

Though that has its advantages. I defy any prospective employer to find anything negative that can be reliably tied to me.

And there *was* the time that the President of the Animal Kingdom Lodge at Disney World gave me his personal cell phone number and exhorted me to call him "if there was anything [he could] do to make my stay at Walt Disney World more enjoyable."

But then I started getting phone calls too early in the morning from ambassadors' assistants and the like. "Look, if you keep calling me like this, I'm going to nuke your stinking pissant country! I don't care if you *are* our largest trading partner!" It just wasn't worth it.
