This is the start of week three with my new employer … and I absolutely love it!
For the first time in decades, I am happily content. This the perfect position with the best people I have worked with since the 20th Century.
I realized today that I have come full circle.
Sure, returning to my roots here in Detroit is part of it.
All my life, folks called me “Timmy”.
I remember correcting someone early on at GM about that. From that point on, everyone, including CEO Jack Smith – believe it or not – called me Timmy.
There was a time when you could walk into just about any die shop in town where they only knew Timmy. Tim Stephens meant nothing to them. Most never bothered to learn my last name.
Well, there is another “Tim” in my department of six.
It has been confusing to everyone having two Tims.
Until today.
“Do you mind if we call you Timmy?” my boss politely asked.
“You mean instead of ‘no – the other Tim?”
So, there you have it. Full circle.
And I could not be happier.
This reminds me of beginning of my career in Mahindra and Mahindra Limited where some fellows started calling me “Bandoo” with an idea to tease me.But I accepted that without getting angry and it sort of became new name for me.
Even today after 45 years some old friends from there call me Bandoo when they contact me
hi Vithal,
Funny how things go like that.
You should register Bandoo.com … that would be cool!
