"We Have A........"
Colleague #1: So. The new Pope. Wouldn't it be totally cool if we could choose our own professional name like that?
Me: Yeah, like with every new employee we'd announce portentously: "We have....an engineer!" And then you'd come out and say...
Colleague #1: My name is: Kelvinus 87!
Colleague #2: Hey, I'll be The Great Carnot.
Colleague #3: I'm going for Prandtl Unity.
Colleague #2: Faith?
Me: William the Second.
[William is the name of the corporate founder, who's also my Dad. But William could also reference Shakespeare, a la the engineers' name-play. And okay, so I didn't actually come up with my response during the conversation itself -- but what is written history except for the author's revisionism, after all?

What about you? If I say:
"We have a ........ [insert your metier]!"
What's the name you declaim from your pontifical balcony?

I NEED to send you an email. ~sigh~ I also need a nap. LOL. BIG HUG
I have to think about this...
"We have a... Glass Blower! All hail Cheeky the Effervescent!"
Okay, so I'm not a glass blower. But how often am I'm given opportunity to use the two sentences above in any given year?
this is too difficult!
maximus mammaries?
nonsensical the first?
bastardus amorus?
humprey booger?

Most days I'd be Lisa, Lady-in-Waiting for the Bathroom.

"We have a ... Lady of the Day" (as opposed to a 'lady of the night'... har) "She shall be called Her Grace, Duchess of Donnelly"
We have a writer. Henceforth we shall call her Passionate Pecker of the Keyboard ...............
We have a....person. He shall be called Ernest II. (I identify with Hemingway in many ways; mostly the moody, fucked up side of the man...if only I could write!)
Please chose something other than William II, otherwise I will never be able look upon the strawberry blonde hair again in quite the same way. :}

My children used to laughingly refer to me as "MWAW,SAM" which stands for Most Wise and Wonderful, Supreme of all Mothers. sigh. joke.
