I have had quite a few jobs during my life. I know that most people hate working and would love it if they won the lottery so they wouldn't have to ever work again. I wish the same. But I don't help myself in that respect by not doing the lottery. I am going to start doing the lottery.
Anyway, most people get through their working day by thinking about what they might have to come home to. A beautiful partner. Beautiful children. Saving up for a beautiful holiday. A beautiful car. A beautiful house. Currently I don't have a job and a lot of my last few wages went towards paying debt off. Still some way to go but now I have no money coming in. What to do? I will keep you posted on that in another post. Anyway, I didn't have and still don't have anything beautiful. By beautiful, I mean something that motivates me and actually makes me want to get out of bed in the morning. But back to the point-Nicknames.
The majority of people will tell you that their bosses are horrible. That they are evil, can't do their jobs properly and a lot of people also say "I could manage this place better" Could you really?
Recently, my last job, my manager was evil. She stole, treated people like crap and was the most conniving, manipulative and horrid person I have ever met in my whole life. I haven't hated anyone since when I was bullied at school. I used to call her "The Goblin" and the following is a definition from Wikipedia of what a goblin is:-
A goblin is a legendary evil or mischievous creature; a grotesquely evil or evil-like phantom.
Apart from the "legendary" bit-it is all true.
Not just managers but a lot of people I have worked with in my various jobs, I nicknamed. Just for personal amusement. It helped me get through the working day especially when I was in with people I didn't like. Here is a list in no particular order with their meanings too (I am thoughtful like that):-
The Trunchbull (Very much like her from Matilda)
The Diseased Horse (A horse with awide range of sexual transmitted infections)
Goldilocks (A male with long blonde hair)
The Chunk (Large lady pointless sweaty woman)
Semi Chunk (See above-but to a lesser extent)
The Beast Of Ancoats Moor (Another large lady-very backward)
The Sewer Rat (Dirty, horrid, vile gimp)
Mr Personality (Dingbat that had the personality of a snail)
Miss Personality (Dingbelle that had the personality of a snail)
The Loch Ness Monster (A big loud Scottish woman)
The Lard Machine (Large man who exported and distributed lard)
The Escaped Convict (Idiot who escaped from jail to work in a warehouse)
The White Witch (Conniving, deceitful and a first class fucking bitch)
The Orange Stain (A useless fake tanned idiot)
The Hooker (She also had more facial hair than me)
So there you go. It's just one of those things I do. I don't mean to give out nicknames, but the looks, actions general horribleness of some people I have had to work with makes me bring out my dis-likeness towards them in a very creative way. It's great when my other work colleagues start to refer to them by the nicknames I have given them too. That's when you know you've made it.
