From the first meeting the T addressed me by my first name. After a few weeks on the way out one day I asked him how he would like me to address him...he stated Dr. Lastname. It made me mad that he would address me by my first name without permission but when I was polite he requested the "DR". Soooooo, in my small rebellious way I have never addressed him! If I leave a message I just say this is Speaker and go into message. When face to face I just say Hi and in a year it has worked. I told him one time I was surprised he called me by my first name without asking. I asked if he always took that liberty when he requested being called Dr. and he said he never thought about it...I found that a bit pretentious
