Watching a few episodes of TV from different shows (Friends, MASH, Seinfeld, Frasier) reminded me of the entertainment derived from people's nicknames at work and occasionally the circumstances through which they are derived which led me to consider opening this thread:
Do you have a nickname at work (or school if you are still in school/college/etc.)?
I'll start: During my training phase at work, my boss once noted that if I were 10 inches shorter and 10 inches wider, with my skin color and my moustache, I would look like Cheech Marin. He started calling me Cheech from that day, and now, almost everyone on the rig I work at refers to me as 'Cheech'. There are even some people who just started 3 months ago or so who are so used to seeing people refer to me as Cheech that they don't even know my actual name!
