You know how certain people in your office have special nicknames. Like "dizzy" because that that person is always screwing something up like Dizzy from Bob the Builder. Or Mr. Panic because everything that happens is cause for panic. Well, I just learned mine at least among some here in the office. A co-worker dialed my phone and began to say, "Stewie is working on some elevations... wait... I thought this was... uh.... never mind <click.mp3>." At first I thought that was a fine nickname. Taken from my last name, it seemed innocent until I thought of Stewie from Family Guy. I am not bent on world domination. I am not out to destroy the lives of my enemies, come to think of it, I don't have enemies. I don't have the ability to create a time machine or any other amazing mechanical contraptions.
In talking with another co-worker I learned that early in my time here he once called me "Stewie" and asked if I liked that. Apparently I seemed very offended, said "No" and walked away. The fact that this nickname has persisted even after everyone has learned of my sarcastic personality is a testament to "first impressions."
