Do you have a nickname?

[Rochard]

"Zachary".

Many years ago when I was a young lad I worked for the phone company - 411. When they say "This is Zachary, what city please?" that's really a tape that goes off. They have a certain name for each operator in each area code (at least back in the day).

When I was going through operator training we were asked what name we wanted to be. I wanted to be Zaltar, King of the Operators. They wouldn't allow that name, so I settled on Zachary.

We got nearly 2k calls a day - that's two thousand times a day I heard "my name" being "Zachary". People also called me Zachary all day long, and it kind of stuck.
