congrats, man.

now if someone's like, "Mr. COVxy", you can go, "please, it's Dr. COVxy"

Haha, I think the novelty of the title has already worn off. Then again, mostly it's been used facetiously in the past couple of days as "Dr. [First name].

I have yet to correct someone who calls me Mr. instead of Dr. It just seems like a jerk thing to do. I've had other people correct those that didn't use my title, but I just can't get over doing it myself.

Now if I was in a room full of Drs. and one decided to call me Mr., then I would gladly correct them. I can see this happening in the not-too-distant future, since I am a staff member working at a university with a bunch of faculty that see the staff as "beneath them".

But for your regular person I run into that calls me Mr., they don't care what my title is, lol.
