Just being silly

[shivver]

At work, I've been doing some customer service work, answering customer inquiries and complaints, so they gave me an account in the ticketing software. I didn't want to use my real name (because users will do things like look up your name on Facebook and start sending friends requests and messages and stuff), so I had to choose a pseudonym, so now I'm Donna. At first, I selected the last name Tyler, but my husband convinced me to use Smith instead. ;)

It makes me giggle every time I sign "Donna" at the end of a response. Sadly, I can't write to customers in Donna's voice ("Oi, next time, don't click that button, dumbo!"), but at least the name brings a bit of fun to my job.

Anything to bring some fun into work! Donna Smith... I'm loving it! Good for your husband, that was truly inspired.

Awesome!

Every so often I get a response back saying, "Thank you, you're great!" and I think, "Best temp in Chiswick!"

I was going to ask if anyone got it. I'm sure that really makes your day!

Nope, not yet. Not likely to, either. I work on a social game, and our audience is the wrong demographic. I'd be surprised if anyone who plays our game has even heard of DW. (Actually, I'm exaggerating. I know that one person, during one of the "tell us what you'd like us to add" surveys, asked for a TARDIS.)
