your job becomes you
I've been interested lately in how many brands are known as Mr. (something), Like Mr. Clean or Mr. Espresso. I guess this evokes the feeling that the person is taking their job so seriously that they literally become their work, their name becomes their job. I wonder what my name would be if I was known as the work I do? I'm not sure if I ever want to be that specialized.

OK, I'll bite. If you WERE known as a Mr. [something], what would that something be?

That's the thing, I really have no idea... I was trying so hard to think of something clever, but I'm just not a Mr. (Something). Hmm... Mr. Peripheral maybe?

I think I'd be, adjusting for gender, Ms. Mister.
I like the euphony of Mr. Peripheral, though. Mr. Parenthetical? Mr. Ellipses?

I'd think I'd like to be Mr. Enabler... Thats my superhero alter Ego, 'TheEnabler'.
