pick your alias

this is my topic. marlana and i have been watching Undercover Boss, and i started wondering how the boss chooses his alias. does he choose it himself? does someone else choose it for him? and if someone else chooses it ... what's the process there? if the boss is aliased as Danny, is that because the boss had a best friend named Danny as a child?

i should say that i love this show. the big guy at the big company is taking entry-level jobs to get a real feel for his employees. he learns how his policies trickle down through the ranks, how his employees are being supported (or not) and how the company can make positive changes to benefit the workplace. it's great. and at the end, he brings the employees he's interacted with to corporate headquarters, lets them know he's really the boss and enlists their help to better the work environment. i've seen employees get sent on extended vacations because they need a break from the stress of their jobs, get promotions because they're awesome at their jobs ... last night the guy from 7-Eleven gave one of his delivery truck drivers his own franchise.

so now that you know WHY i picked the topic, i'll admit that i have no idea what my alias would be. :)

You totally suck. All of that just to say you don't know what your alias would be? That's very disappointing. *shakes head*
