Eventually we called them tall useless and short useless. They were ridiculously useless and lasted less than 6weeks.

Houdini - always disappears when there is work to be done.

Cobra, or Sneaky Snake - the one who is always starting crap to get them to fight because they find it funny.

Plastic Man (or Woman) - the employee who is part contortionist.

He-Man (or Wonder Woman) - the strongest employee.

James Bond (sometimes it was just 'secret agent') - the employee who always has some special thing to do that removes them from the usual drudgery of work stuff.

Hollywood. Because I am a religious sunglasses wearer. I love my sunglasses because the sun causes cataracts and I love reading so much I protect my eyes.

Some days, it might be lunch before I realized that I still had them on my head.

Overexposure to the suns UV rays can contribute to cataracts.

I did copy and paste the information but I'm currently on my phone so it didn't exactly work out for me this morning.
