yea, but lots of the nicknames are out of laziness ... ie Jobi becomes Joe, Zakvan becomes Zack, Satbir becomes Sam, though we did have a bit of fun with nicknames for a while. When i worked overnights, the first 3 or 4 months there were 4 of us, and 3 of us were named Brian (though one guy spelled it Bryon, and the other guy spellled it Bryan). Bryon would get pissed if you called him Byron. Bryan earned the nickname of putz, because he was always the practical joker, and putzing around with stuff.
