I work in a predominantly white office with only one other black woman. I’ve noticed that some of my coworkers get our names mixed up. It’s never the case that they call me by her name to my face. It’s always that they’re talking to each other and describe something I did or said and ascribe it to her. For example, ‘I was working late with Mary yesterday’ but it was me, not Mary.

It used to only be two coworkers that did this but today I heard someone who I thought was my work friend do it too. I’m a shy/quiet person and the other black woman is more extroverted. Maybe this is silly but it hurts my feelings that I’m misremembered as her and never the other way around. I’ve never heard anyone use my name for her. I don’t think they’re doing this on purpose and I don’t correct them because I’m not part of the conversation when it happens (just sitting nearby and can hear them). Should I call them out on it? I’m afraid they’ll take it badly and the vibes will get weird.

I'm a single person making 95k/year working hybrid (2 days WFH). I'm moving in July and I'm choosing between a 1b1b for $1400 and a 2b2b for $1350 in the same apartment building. In the 1b1b my "office" would be the dinning area and in the 2b2b it would be the second bedroom.

It feels silly to not choose the 2b2b since the price is cheaper for more space but I have a few hesitations:

• the 1b1b has a bigger master bedroom and closet and I really love the floor plan
• I don't have have a lot of furniture so I would need to buy more to fill the 2b2b
• the 2b2b will probably have a higher utility bill
• the 2b2b might have a bigger rent increase come renewal time

Which would you choose?

ETA: Both units would be on floor 2 out of 3, 780 sq ft vs 1020 sq ft. I toured the model units so I haven't seen the exact unit I would be getting

ETA2: Based on info from the leasing manager and website, both units are equally renovated
