Anyone offended by the term receptionist? I'm getting weird responses when I tell people what I do for work!

Hi all! I've been working reception for about 3 years. I always have other job titles like "client experience coordinator" "front end management" "graduate admissions coordinator" but that's a wordy vague job description so I just tell people I'm a receptionist. I love being a receptionist, it feels like my calling! However, when I call myself a receptionist, people are so quick to say "you're not just a receptionist! you're important!" Like reception isn't an important job? It feels like they're offended on my behalf - this has happened with coworkers from other departments, friends, family, and perfect strangers. Other receptionists I know are like yeah, no, I'm a receptionist? It seems sort of analogous to how people have switched from "stewardess" to "flight attendant", except "receptionist" is already gender neutral?? Anyone else feel this way?

Russell Blessing Rd?

I was looking up a property and I saw it listed on Russell Blessing Rd - except I know that street and it's just Russell Rd? The street sign even says Russell Rd. But Zillow has it and if you look it up on Google Maps it takes you to the address and it says Russell Blessing. this is in 12203 off western where the Stewart’s is. any idea why?
