What are you known for at work?

[Jay 2K Winger]

At the wholesale club

I was the "long-haul guy." As in, I'd been at the store for 9.5 years before I left for my IT job. I'd been there longer than some of the managers.

I was also the "ninja," in that I was surprisingly quiet and light on my feet for a guy my size, and capable of sneaking up on people.

At the IT job

I'm the guy with the whiteboard on which I draw little cartoons or write things that i think are funny. (Currently, this is a picture of a creeper head from Minecraft.) I also have lots of little 3D puzzles on my desk and Lego Architecture sets as well.

At the old job: Being the only one in the kennels willing to check the boys *ahem* businesses to make sure that everything was present and accounted for if we wanted to breed them. Seriously, I have purel, soap and a sink. What'd the big deal? lol.

I'd forgotten about that -- I have the same ability, tho I'm known for it more IRL that at any given job...The thing is, I can only do it when I am NOT actually trying to do so. If I am just walking up to someone from behind, however? Six foot four, barrel-chested and three hun- *coughmumble* pounds -- I'm pretty damn hard to miss -- and I somehow manage to completely mask my presence until either I speak up, or my victim turns around and jumps straight outta their shoes ^_^

I get a lot of that one too...for a guy my size, I can be remarkably quiet when I move around. It doesn't help that I get a kick out of scaring people and think it's funny, so I drive people insane with that habit

At my place of employment, I am the resident nerd and I always have a pen in my ponytail. That way I don't lose it.

[wagegoth]

Now: Give me five minutes training on a new program, and I'll have it dancing, singing and taking a bow for me two days later. Everyone calls me before they call the help desk.

Old job: back when systems were one of a kind, standalones, I was really good at finding back doors and workarounds.

Need to find something online, ask me.

Massive amounts of trivial knowledge on a wide range of subjects.

A mouth that can embarrass sailors. I literally did embarrass a sailor with my swearing. I am very careful about when and where I use this power.

[Ledomar]

Like Jay2k, EricKei and KhirashY, I"m known for my silent movement, though its more IRL. I have been known to scare people by walking up to them though.
When I was a Meat Clerk, I was known as the guy who would work his butt off, but take too many bathroom breaks. Sorry that I have some intestinal problems. As long as my work gets done, oh well.
At the Call Center, i'm know for being lunch man (I tend to go get lunch for myself and several others), my general knowledge of trivia, and for always being willing to help my coworkers.

[Antisocial_Worker]

At my last job, I was known for a foul mouth, a bad attitude, nasty temper, and creatively insulting nicknames for people I couldn't stand. Many of these nicknames later managed to attach themselves, lamprey-like to the people to whom I had assigned them. I was very proud.

I hear that since I quit, the drudgery there at the factory isn't leavened nearly as much as it was when I could be counted upon to reliably go off on a rant at least twice a night.

[Shironu-Akaineko]

Sarcasm, anger issue, my love of eating and the one who always gets the weird customers. I only got mad ONCE over a lunch break (I was terribly sick that day and my coworker at the time ignored my plea to go get something to eat, effectively pushing my lunch from Noon to 4 o clock).

Nowadays my current coworkers dare not mess with my lunch hour and I even noticed the older ones take a step back when my boss ask me to wait another 30 mins for it. now THAT'S power!

[KhirasHY]

I'm also apparently known as Excel Guy at work now...I went in a few days back and my manager was griping about how setting up a new worksheet was going to be her task for hours. I asked if she wanted me to show her some tricks...and got the entire thing set up in about 2 minutes. She was figuratively speechless for a minute or two, until she finally asked (in a quiet voice, as if afraid) "did you really just finish that already?"

She didn't know that Excel can do things like the fill command, updating formulas as it went. She thought she would have to enter in about 900 formulas one at a time...yeah, I entered 6 formulas then used fill Then linked some other tabs on the sheet to those formulas, and used fill to sync them all up too. So yeah, about 2 minutes of work...

These are both from my former job:

First Store:

-Only person who was able to clear an entire trolley worth of stock in 20 minutes. (at this stage, the record still stands)
-Regularly became known as the "stock" girl since I knew where everything went (just about). At one point, one of the best 2IC's I ever had (who transferred ) pulled me off of a register because one of my dickhead coworkers had told her I was good with stock. He became less of a dickhead after that.
-"Random noise" girl: I was known for making random noises whenever someone or something touched me unexpectedly. I became known as "Pokemon" at one point

Second store:

-The supervisor that wasn't a supervisor: this sounds strange, but there were times when I was called to man the front desk while the supervisor in charge went off for a break. I was given permission to do everything except stuff I wasn't trained to do (I had to call the duty manager for those). Most of the time I delegated to people's strengths.

-The "stock girl" AGAIN

[Halo_miles]

I am known for being extremely cheerful, to the point of, "she's gotta be on drugs" (Protip: I'm not), my polite announcements, and my extremely good memory for customers' phone numbers and faces. It scares the shit out of my coworkers that I can remember customers' phone numbers (in case they forget a rewards card that we use).
