    I'm watching a show about Hiroshima, and the plane that dropped the bomb was given the nickname Dimples, cause it sounds "unlikely". And it made me think; I want to be the guy that comes up with badass codenames for things. Like Operation Dropkick and Bay of Pigs.

    I think I could be pretty creative with it.

    Yeah, my bad. The mission is named Dimples. I got confused cause this one guy said, "Dimples estimated takeoff time is 02:45.

    'Enola Gay, call sign "Dimples 82," started her engines at 0227 hours, finished her pre-flight then requested clearance to taxi.'

    Its name changed?

    That's what I read too. I suppose the half hour long programme didn't want to take the time to explain this.

    Where I worked we code named everything we said on radios so the bosses upstairs couldn't understand what we were saying. We had a code name for several places where to meet for unscheduled breaks, we called each other by numbers rather then names, the bosses hated that. If something broke, to avoid bosses coming and touching stuff and messing it up worse we had code names for that, and thats also where numbers instead of names came in handy. They didn't know who was called to where and it was a big place so it was easy to get shit done without them coming around trying to push people to do things faster making stuff not happen.
    When the new management came in they started to kick ass on everyone so we started to code everything we said so they couldn't tell what we were up to, was kinda funny. There was so many places to hide.
    One time one of the bosses heard some code on his radio and stopped me to ask what I just heard on my radio, I said "How would I freakin know, they code everything". I got a stink eye from him and he left pissed off.
    Before new management we worked to get extras done, made our next day easier, and sometimes gave us a break knowing it was all good and we had room for breakdowns without loses to the company, once the new ones came in and pushed attitude, numbers and dollar signs up our asses, we worked to rule only so if things weren't right they'd be all over us screaming and freaking out over numbers not happening. It was pretty bad how things changed as many companies suffered so CEOs could get their bonuses.
    Operation Stick was the day we picked to all call in sick and leave em screwed because they denied everyone their holidays and threatened to pay us out at 60% instead. That was a mistake they learned hard by. Only a few chickens opted out and came in and they had to do triple their duties but we got our holidays back. Hahaha. So glad I quit that job even tho I loved it for 11 years before the new CEO showed up, he worked for 4 years and retired a millionaire with a house the company already bought him and many other bonuses. It was a bad time, shares dropped two thirds in his 4 years and never recovered still today.
    Code is a great thing and can be fun when it's needed.
