At work I have several nicknames. One is ImagiMary because I was an imaginary employee during my time working remotely in New Zealand. While I was there several new employees were hired and I was explained as the imaginary employee.
The other nickname I have at work is MerMary. My lovely boss made it up because I drink A LOT of water. I drink more water than anyone in the office and I only drink water. (Exemptions: I occasionally drink orange juice especially during long haul flights and after, and I occasionally drink the alcohols.) I only drink water at the office so they consider me a mermaid.
I drink a lot of water, I lived on an island, I am MerMary. It’s silly and I actually prefer other nicknames, but whatever. I do like being known for having a healthy habit. My kidneys definitely thank me for this!
When I came back from New Zealand a few weeks ago, my desk had been decked out in an island costume.
It was very Hawaiian but I let it slide since New Zealand and Hawaii are similar.
The decorations came with my very own mermaid! She is still hanging out in the water next to my desk this week and probably won’t go anywhere for a while.
We’ll just be two mermaids hanging out on our side of the office. Doing our thing, drinking some water.
:)
Have you had water today? Do it! It’s good for you!
That is so cute!! What a fun office you work in! Yep, I’ve been drinking water today at work and plan to drink more at the gym later.
That is FANTASTIC!!! Sounds like you work in a great environment. Have a great week MerMary. :)
I WANNA WORK WHERE YOU DO…
That office is so unique, I love your bosses, they truly know how to support their employees and to give you a nickname, how sweet is that. I really like the mermary idea it has a ring to it. You always teach me things and drinking lots of water is a good one to learn, especially when kidney stones run in the family.. I drink a 32 oz glass in the morning at work and one at lunch/afternoon. Thats about all I get down as I am not the water drinker you are. The benefits of water are countless and we can all learn from you on this subject! Have a blessed day my sweet daughter, I love you MerMary!!!!
That is really cute! I usually drink at least 93 ounces of water a day if not more. Some days are better than others. I track my water intake so I know exactly how well (or bad) I did for that day based on my recommended daily intake level.
Nothing wrong with being a mermaid, they are beautiful and live in the sea….sounds good to me!
What a lovely bunch of people you work with. I cannot stress this enough, CHERISH THAT. I had to quit my job of 12 years because the people I worked with were horrible and turned good people into stressed out zombies. A work environment like this is a rare thing and I’m beyond happy you found it! Now I’m off to get my water. :-)
