So, I have delegated a new nickname. You must know that I love the nicknames. Not only can they be very personal and make someone feel special. But they can also be used as code when talking about friends or coworkers. I have a coworker who shall henceforth be referred to as "The Clapper". We're talking about that person that claps at EVERYTHING. And it's not like a big "yes, great performance" clap. oh no. It's the tiny little "yeah I'm excited golf clap". Prime Example from yesterday in class (yes I was actually LEARNING and not teaching for a change):
Facilitator: Good morning everybody, I'm so glad to have you here today. Some of you know me already and work with me (looks at The Clapper)
The Clapper: (clap clap clap), good morning!
Facilitator: Please go around the room and introduce yourself and why you took this class. (Indicates for The Clapper to start)
The Clapper: Well, I'm The Clapper* and I already took this class but I decided I needed a refresher on it.
Facilitator: Well, we're happy to have you.
The Clapper: I'm happy to be here. (clap clap clap)
see what I mean?
I almost cut her hands off Aladdin style yesterday. 
*Names have been changed to protect the irritating.

Glad you boys enjoyed it...
My lamp is literally two feet from my bed. Which is just far enough that I can't turn it off while I'm IN bed. I'm seriously considering the purchase of a Clapper.
