I was a technology consultant with a major firm for almost five years. During this time, I spent almost two years on the same project working under the most ignorant-ass "senior architect" the world has ever seen, who spent a third of the year in India, could barely speak English, and was a terrible micro-manager.
Every single morning we would have "15 minute" update conference calls, that often lasted for 1-2 hours. I've been accused more than a few hundred times of being a jackass, so when I heard a dumb idea, I called it, and things got heated daily. Coworkers in the cubicle farm would gather to listen to these calls as a source of entertainment, and since my name is Anthony, the nickname was born - Angry Ant.
I've since quit that job, and people ask me why I still use it. Not real sure since I don't spend all day cursing anymore, but I still use it anyway.
