At my present workplace I don’t have one.

In earlier times I had two different ones:

  • “Professor” because I am often perceived as a smart-arse
  • During my military service: “ABC”, like in the German term “ABC-Waffe”, which means atomar, biological, or chemical weapon. A gas mask is called “ABC-Schutzmaske” (abc-protection mask) in german, and for some reason I didn’t dislike wearing it as much as others did, so I was declared an “ABC-fetishist”, shortened to “ABC”.

I love him.
MOTO - Master of the Obvious
Grumpy - Affectionately called that because he looks like that grumpy puppet Walter

I always seemed to get the same one, I won’t say what it was other than it’s a type of hole
 :poop::ok_hand:

Otherwise the last place I worked it was Mustache, because for some reason the people in a game studio weren’t very creative with nicknames.

I just noticed I forgot to mention that I was also called “Psycho” by some people for some time.
That was because
 I actually forgot why. Had something to do with me saying or doing something crazy I guess. Which kinda sounds like it could fit. :smiley:
