What are you known for at work?

[shopgirl15]

The quiet oddball.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

"That's what she said!" jokes.

"I kinda thought this would be a little bigger." "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!"

[Teefies2]

Being the only one in the entire store that has the patience to check "out-of-dates" --- products that have expired --- and take care of zeroing them out and disposing of them. Yes, I'm detailed oriented (okay .... anal!! )

What the other associates do NOT understand is that, when you are checking expiration dates, you are NOT working on a register, you are NOT working with that stupid other co-worker, you are NOT doing a reset, and you are NOT dealing with SCs (well for the most part). The work day is so much smoother that way!

[Food Lady]

Thought of another one: I'm the bag lady. I am the one who makes sure all lanes are stocked and everyone knows Food Lady does NOT like when you leave the holder tabs all over the place instead of recycling, or leave random bags all over instead of using them.

[Dreamstalker]

Ugh, I hate loose bags everywhere. USE THEM! Every few days when I notice the loose bags are piling up, I'll hold a little experiment if I'm opening self-scam. I'll put a set number of loose bags (nicely opened and stacked) on the end of each register and keep track of whether people use them. It's about 50/50 right now, with the 'non-users' choosing instead to fight with the bags on the racks and leave half of them randomly strewn about

In my old building they had the rule of 'Don't take a drink of anything when drunkenwildmage is talking'.

[cashierbex]

I'm apparently the clearance queen. Anything and everything that has to be clearanced gets dumped onto me and I have to make room on our 2 endstands thats already full enough as is. I somehow do it.

[EricKei]

At BoutiqueGrocery as a teen -- Known as the guy who knows where EVERYTHING is (lemon curd (uncommon in the US)? Spices from Hungary? Unpronounceable food additives from the middle of nowhere? Sure! Aisle 5, right hand side, 2nd shelf from the top near the fried weasel)... I was also (apparently) know as the one guy who never seemed to curse, through no fault of my own. On the rare occasions when I did let fly with a bit of sailor talk, the CW's *knew* something was really wrong, and had the wisdom to stay well clear of me until I finished my shift...

At DaddyJim's Pizza, I was one of the better pizza cutters (hey! it's an art~!... apparently). This came back to bite me in the ass come Mardi Gras time, when we typically had 2 450~500F ovens running (with just me on the cut table), 3 small pizzas side-by-side, all touching each other, all the way back thru the ovens, for 14 hours a day, on parade days...gah. I didn't have to work the entire run each time, but I was still there for full shifts, and they opted not to charge me for water and other drinks when I did so If only they were a "profit-sharing" type of place ~_~ We were doing 24~27 thousand-dollar DAYS (at least, what they reported to Corporate...); that's not bad for a two-week span any other time of year.

[sms001]

I'm the science/language guy. "How do you spell..." "What's that word for...." "Why is the sky blue?" etc.

Fairly recently co-worker's kid (19!) told her the ol' "We never went to the moon." story. She came to me for a way to refute it.

That kind of stuff.

[MadMike]

1. Getting my work done quickly. I usually don't even have to worry about deadlines, because I almost always beat them, and if I do, it's usually something that's no fault of my own -- i.e., unforeseen technical issues where I need an answer from someone else, problems with the specifications, etc. I freaked out my manager once, because he had estimated that something would take me two weeks, and I finished it in a day and a half. The thing about that was, it was a bunch of different programs, but it was mostly duplication. Figuring out how to make the change in the first program was the tricky part, but once that was done, all I had to do was copy it into the rest of the programs. Sometimes I have slow days because I finished something faster than my manager thought I would, and it takes her some time to find me something else to work on.

2. My short temper with machines. I actually got warned about that by the manager about letting certain words slip out, especially since I wear headphones and don't always hear myself. I personally don't understand how anyone can work on computers and not drop an occasional f-bomb, but I understand that other people don't want to hear it.

3. Back when I was still a new employee and working for the guy who hired me, I was known for my snacks at my desk. Interestingly enough, I was about 70 lbs lighter when I first started there. One day, he needed to have someone stop by and talk to me about a project that I was working on for him, and he told the other person, "To find Mike, just come by my office and listen for the sound of crunching Doritos."

[Iris Kojiro]

At the Medicine Hat, I am the person that makes the "That's what she said!" jokes, as well as being the main input person in the pharmacy.

At the Night Place, I also make sure to gather loose bags and use them. Much less clutter that way!

[EricKei]

Where I am now, I am known for the same thing I'm known for among friends -- as the walking dictionary/spellchecker.

I personally don't understand how anyone can work on computers and not drop an occasional f-bomb, but I understand that other people don't want to hear it.

Working on computers definitely expands your vocabulary in many ways ^_^

[Ghel]

I'm known for my Google-fu. (I'm sure there's folks here on CS that are much better at it than me, but you have to remember I work with people who are technologically illiterate.) Did a customer move and not give us their new address? I can find it! Disconnected phone? I can find their new phone number! Something that smacks of urban legend? I'll find out! Phone number for a government entity or insurance agent? No problem! What time is it for the customer who lives in France? Easy peasy. See where that customer who lives in Amsterdam works? Okie dokie.

[muppet101]

My collection of Converse sneakers. I'm tall so need flat shoes and when I go to the US I usually go to an outlet mall and pick up loads in my size in all different colours to go with my clothes.

[Fudgethatkay]

I'm the new girl. Picky eater and weird for speaking Asian Languages when I'm whiter than milk.

Also known for not being able to hide my facial expressions well, yet have the loveliest phone mannerisms ;]
