Yes that point has been a long time coming on this one - don't know what they call me (not sure I would want to) but two of my team's favourite questions to me are "what time is your train?" usually in the hope that I stop bugging them and fark off.0 -
There are too many to mention where I work, we all have nicknames which make for quite an entertaining morning each month wondering who the hell the payslips are for.
Phone calls are another funny, never ring up and ask for a person using their real name! No-one knows who thay are! I've worked here for a long time and I still only know people by their nicknames, it's fun and it also confuses the life out of people.
For me it's def a case of small things please small minds.
Love n hugs
