Yep - I made a nickname for myself here at work, 'Boss' and I will explain why.
I was in a meeting with about 55 people from our department. My boss was heading this meeting (and is the most senoir in the room, and probably the whole floor) and as it is a quartly meeting, all the new recuits had to introduce themselves, incuding me.
So my boss said 'lets start with... Robin as I know him'
My reply:
'Hello, My name is Robin, from the university of Portsmouth doing an intern year, working as David's Boss' [David being my boss]
Slight error - I just said I was the boss of the most senoir guy in the room, and floor... Everyone went up in hersterics - took 5 minutes to get everyone back to normal! Ment to say 'working as dave's assistant' Well, its one way to break the ice in the meeting, and one way to break the ice of meeting new people. So, walked into the office today, and everyone that was in the morning is now saying 'morning boss'..
Still, you got to laugh!
