What do your co workers call you?
[FONT=Arial Narrow][SIZE=4]I just found out what my co workers have been calling me or think about me. It came as a shock although I have all my life tried to live down my baby face. ( which by the way is aging regardless) [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][SIZE=4]I have been called 'conservative' and well spoken. :eek: [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][SIZE=4]gawd I am in shock.....when on the inside I feel like I did as a child. Carefree as ever.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][SIZE=4]ok now people what do your co workers say about you??? [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][SIZE=4][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][SIZE=4]ps. I've always wanted to be edgy and cool or sophisticated. Now I know I am just a short pudgy dork. I thought I hid it so well :P [/SIZE][/FONT]
For all the things that office people say about one another, that's a fairly good set of things to be called.
thank you. I thought the same thing but .....then I have this pagan heart.
ok so what have people said about you that came as a shock?
Like I think you are funny at times. Do you see yourself as funny?
oh and that is another on I hear is I can be funny but I am not really. Probably a goofy kind of funny.
Thanks. I always hope I'm funny, but I'm certain I come across as trying too hard. My main trait is that I'm... bashful.
Not sure about co-workers, but my party comrades seem to think I like a fight. Which I do. They also think I am incredibly ambitious, which I am not. My friends know this, but comrades at more of a distance think much of what I do is done with an ulterior motive (i.e preparing ground for/getting myself well placed for a further political career). That's fine. I don't mind them thinking that.
I think when I was working I was viewed as slightly strange, maybe a little eccentric and possibly a snob. I was also generally the one that co-workers wanted with them if they needed a little back-up in contentious staff meetings, or visits to upper management. So....up for a scrap, seems a common theme:P Which is of course just a polite way of saying gobby cow.
One thing I was fairly well-known for at work was an absolute refusal to get drawn into the nastier side of office politics and a consistent attempt to retain friends in the different camps. People eventually gave up trying to bad mouth colleagues to me. Now...amongst my comrades in the party I find myself in a deeply factional situation and have pretty much thrown myself into the war. So people who are in the party but not really involved at that level see me as a deeply divisive person who is far too ready to argue aggressively against the [seemingly] reasonable arguments of fellow comrades [opposing faction members]. Quite a shift of perception :P
@ UT. still waters run deep I always say.
@Dana..lol @ gobbly cow
You have given me an insightful glimpse though. Your thoughts are interesting.
I say an ambitious someone that has your back is so prefered over an ambitious someone who will stab you in the back.
We all have met those. I'm glad there are people like you to balance things out. Nice to know that ying and yang principle is working.
Thanks. I always hope I'm funny, but I'm certain I come across as trying too hard. My main trait is that I'm... bashful.
WHAT?????????????????:eek:
Most of my coworkers refer to me as the smiley one. I'm known for my good cheer and also for the fact that I always have the neatest desk in the place. I'm also known for being the most organized and pedantic staff member because I am a stickler for following procedures.
I like this reputation because it is what I am. It doesn't surprise me at all.
I'm seen as the *boss* and *the ball breaker* at work, who never sugar coats anything....thats what I have to...I babysit sleazy old guys and 2 cute apprentice mechanics.
Clients/Customers think I am lovely and always chirpy :)
My coworkers refer to me as Lord Terry, Master of the Universe. I am approached with fear and reverence.:vader1: You will all come to fear me, and call me master!!!
Uh Oh Lady Keryx, says I have to cum inside and service her greatness.

I somehow find that quite a pedantic statement.
I don't like my rep because I have a fire burning on the inside as I do what I must do on the outside.....even when my feet hurt after work.

I wish I could do that instead of insinerating with my eyes.
I get called sweet alot too. bleh

:rolleyes: that reads funny...but then I am drinking a beer
When I was working, they called me "hard worker" and that I was "resourceful."
Now that I don't work, anymore, they probably call me a lot of things I don't want to know about.
When I had co-workers, I was 'the bitch' (as in bitching about stuff; not in the prison sense of the word).
I was the one who got on everyone to set up their files and layouts right. We worked on really tight schedules and had to randomly edit each others' work, so when folks threw protocol out the window, it just made things harder for everybody.
It was completely out in the open that I was known as 'the bitch' (two of my co-workers have been my best friends for years, and weren't shy about letting me know their feelings), but I didn't care as long as we didn't have to stay late for hours and fix something stupid. After I left the company, one of them took on the role. :D
I get called Bam Bam , or Babby Huie by my co workers !!
"Sir" by others, first name by peers and the three bosses above me.
"Sir"
As in "SIR YES SIR !!!"
I actually get called *mingie*... *minjulatta* or *mingalicious* or bitch :)

all one word
one guy calls me paul bunyon. he thinks he's funny when he introduces his customers to me that way and then leaves the room. I always say, "You'll have to pardon Robert's lack of professionalism. He recently discovered that he's gay, and it's shaken him up a good bit.
then we laugh at him behind his back.
"Sir" by others, first name by peers and the three bosses above me.
People still use that? I would've thought that was just in the forces?
That's reminded me. I've talked about ex-coworkers and current party comrades/colleagues, I completely forgot about council officers. Unless they know me well, and even then always in public, they call me Councillor {surname}. Some of the more old school departmental directors would never consider calling even an elected member they knew well by their first name, it's either Cllr or Cllr {surname}. Others are more relaxed and use your name when you are engaged in day to day operations, but not so in meetings or official events.
Also, not exactly what the thread's about, but no matter:P Y'know there are still some of us in the Labour movement who use 'comrade' as a term of address from time to time.

* big grin * Those are very
unusual AND
cool nick names.
old fart, fuddy-duddy, fortran iv, fuzzynuts... or words to that effect. since I'm the oldest -- even older than the boss by a year.

impossible! Not to your face! If they do just say. AH-HEM...THAT'S
MR.OLD FART TO YOU! :mad2: and then give them the scowly look.
Back when I worked construction, the Spanish-speaking guys would call me "Barbi," short for "Barbitas" -- "Beardie," pretty much. I thought it was pretty cool.
I somehow find that quite a pedantic statement.
What do you mean by pedantic? Not the definition of course. I just simply don't understand why you would use that word.
You've put yourself in a context of being pedantic. Never mind. It probably dosn't mean anything except to me. No worrys. :)
What do you mean by pedantic?
how was she supposed to know he was only 14 years old?:headshake

Asshole
I don't think it's a bad thing to be pedantic about doing things correctly. It saves time and money for the person who pays me and they value it enough to give me bonuses. People know if they ask me to sort something out it'll get done and done well.
I'm the same in all areas of my life. That's why I said it's what I am.
whatever they call me - it better be somethin nice
really it's either
red (duh) or
tina, baby
(i work with all guys)
Frankly, I don't give a damn,
They call me Sarah (my name). I think that of three co-workers, two of them think of me as shy but smart and insightful, and the other one thinks of me as a total lazy waste of money. :D
:eek: I think if I type what my co-workers call me, I may get banned for profanity.
The only thing I could get away with is a nickname I hate, and I'm not going to put it here. :headshake
