After Christmas Let Down

Several months ago a co-worker came up with a nickname for me and has been using ever since. That is until the new year started.

In early December I decided I needed to figure out a nickname for this person in return. A week went by and I had nothing. A second week went by and I thought I had one, even if I thought it was too Hollywood, but as it turned out, that nickname has been used and tarnished already. So I was left to ponder once again.

I set myself a deadline of Christmas to figure out a nickname for this person, you know, to serve as a kind of present for him. As of now I still have no nickname for him and the lack of creativity on my part has let down my coworker so much that he has stopped using my nickname when we pass in the halls. If only his name was more conducive for just adding a “y” at the end… I don’t think he would have let me get away with something so simple anyhow.
