Easing back in...

Some of you may know that I have a problem remembering people's names.  Not a problem like you have to tell me twice, a problem like you might tell me everyday for 2 weeks and I still won't know it tomorrow.  It's very odd and I really don't understand it because my memory in other areas is strangely good.

Anyway, I realized there's hardly anyone at work I call by their real name.  So for a lark I'm going to make a list of things I call people at work instead of their actual names (in some cases I still don't know their names and I've been there for over nine months now and in a couple of cases I figured out their names but refuse to use them):

-Pod Ken
-Chuckish - He was hired 2 months ago.  They introduced me to him and as soon as he walked away I asked what his name was.  Someone said, "Chuck?  Ish?" so now he's Chuckish.  His name might not even be Chuck.  I wouldn't know.
-Wackenfuss Lafayette  - This one makes no sense.  The guy goes by his initials.  Two letters and I couldn't remember it.  This mouthful of silly however I couldn't forget if I wanted to.
-White Ninja
-Bark-a-lee
-Food Santa - Because Food Santa
-Pockets
-Rain Man
-Chim Chim - Because he's an irritating fucking monkey.
-Squirrelly - This guy, for sure, will be on the news soon because they will find cut up lady parts in his freezer.  No bullshit.
-Anorexic Clint
-Fancy Pants - There are pants involved.  They are quite fancy.
-Douchenbacher
-Fluffy Puppy Rainbows
-Honky Ass Cracker
-Cracker Ass Honky - Note the difference.
-Fuckin'...*points at the guy* - It's become a thing.  His name is officially Fuckin' a short pause and then a pointing motion.

What is wrong with my brain?
