I just got a call from the Yale Alumni Fund. She started by apologizing "for your last name", so I said "it's a perfectly good last name, there's no need for you to apologize." Then she clarified, and I told her she'd done about average on the pronunciation.
I told her I can't afford to donate, and she said "a member of your class has challenged..." I told her that if said member offered me a job, I might reconsider, but until then rent and health insurance are higher priorities. She said something about "only $25", and I explained that that's real money to someone without a job, which she should understand, given what they were paying her. At that point she said she understood, and I said "good night" and hung up.
