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?

I did that on Skype with my colleagues. I put down nicknames usually based on their name. Some 'obvious', some REALLY far fetched. I had names like "snake, gloria (a guy who's name resembles Gloria Estafan), Bananarama, unknown (didn't know what to call him, so used that), etc. But the company grew and I completely lost track of who I was talking to..... Which was fun sometimes.
Part of me wants to know if you have names for us. Part of me doesn't.
I can neither confirm nor deny.
*confirms*
Damn it!
Why have comments, including one of my own, disappeared from here? I am not pleased.
I do this, too, but not nearly as colorfully or amusingly. Mostly, for me, it's . Indian Nathan Fillion is currently on my development team at work.
I'm stealing several of yours.
Cute. Google mangled my description. Take two:
Mostly, for me, it's [Race] [Person they remind me of].
