newbie in the office
We had a youngest (18) start this week I’m trying to think of a suitable nickname for him. His name is Eric Watson. Can't use Watty as that is already in use.
I have thought of Flat Eric. Any more?

Why have a nickname at all?
He might get offended.

this has got to be one of the best threads on WHT.
Making fun of newbies @ the office is always the best.
