    I had a temp job in 2006 where I’d have to reply to e-mails for a car insurance company, and it was so mind-numbing I’d be typing out the templates instead of copy-pasting just to pass the time. At a given point I decided to start signing all my e-mails with fake names beginning with R, so Roger, Robbie, Reg… I think I’d flown too close to the sun when the manager stood up and called out, “and who the fuck is Ruddiger?”

      I give people fake job titles. Someone on my team handles our AV stuff, including posting to YouTube.

      Last week I referred to them as our YouTube Commandant.

        Human creativity always finds a conduit, eh.
