Bicol Volunteer Attempts to Get a Nickname

Dave Shmidt has decided that he wants one of his Filipino office-mates to give him the nickname Schmitty. Now that he has given up being a DJ he feels he has plenty of time to dedicate himself to getting a nickname. “For the last few years I’ve thought Schmitty would be a cool nickname. It sounds sorta Irish, plus it rhymes with titty.”

Dave doesn’t yet know how exactly he can trick someone into giving him the nickname, but he is adamant that it must seem like it came from someone else. “I mean how lame will that seem, giving myself a nickname? No, its gotta seem organic.”

His first idea is to anonymously change his last name on an office memo. If that doesn’t work however, Dave isn’t about to pack it in, “I was born with the opportunity for a really kick-ass nickname, and I’m not about to let another chance pass me by.”
