Nicknames

The other night when I was having dinner with LGM (yes, that one long time ago) and I was really thinking hard at one point the real name of "& Co." which at the end LGM provided, very helpfully, his name as "& Co.". Haha... and I think LGM and LP refer me as TTB in their conversations. I was telling LGM I bumped into "Steve" at gym but in fact I meant BO, just that I used the name BO so much I almost forgot his real name.

We are heavy instant messaging users in the office and IN CASE anyone come across our conversations, we actually nick people in the office, e.g. BB (big boss). Whoopss... I hope he doesn't read this, there goes his identity!

Lately, if you have also read, there's this new colleague of mine whom I don't like since day one... FYI I still don't like him. I was sending MC (okay, I do remember MC's real name!) a text message the other day and I was lazy to type out The-One-I-Hate-Since-Day-One, so I typed T 1 I H S D 1.

Then MC replied to say, "huh! Who? Is this a virus like H1N1?"

Mwah hahaha... okay. Yes! Very apt. Hence T1IHSD1 is called Virus 1 from then on.

I told BB today that I am not confident towards Virus 1's ability in certain job tasks. However, my BB (yeee... this nickname can sound a bit intimate at times) said he has full confidence. So, okay lah, I'll just make all changes according to Virus 1, and will implement all his suggestions then.

I don't care I don't care I don't care.

I cannot be bothered lah, why do I want to stress myself out from standing my ground at work when it doesn't benefit me? Might as well save some brain cells for designing my cakes.

Talking about cakes, I've a confirmed wedding cake order for next Saturday, it's my ex-colleague's wedding. THEN just now I got an inquiry on a birthday cake for the same day. By right I should be fine to handle two deliveries but this a figure birthday cake request. It's going to take a lot of time. Maybe quote her the price first, it's going to be a bit costly since figure cake is a waste of cake (you need to cut out the shape hence throwing away the not needed parts) and customer might not want to spend that kind of money.

Okay, sleep first think later.

Ooo.. in my work place there are also a few of these names...
for example:

Clueless - that one who always donno anything at all but pretend to be.

Postman - not any different from Clueless but just that this just very good in delegating things. Serious talent in this...

Dory - hee.. if you have watch Nemo.. you will know what is this character.. not the jolly side.. but the forgetful side.

Let you guess.. we have also TWI and TDDI. =p

Some of these names are so good to use that we sometimes forget to refer them to their real name. Ha..
