Everyone here calls me Jim. My real name is Jessica, but there were four Jessicas in my freshman orientation class, so we had to pick nicknames. I picked Jim for a few reasons…
1. That’s what they called my granddad. His name was Bruce, so I figured I could be called Jim for no good reason too. :P
2. I’m a history buff, particularly when it comes to the Alamo, so my parents teasingly called me Jim a couple of times after Jim Bowie. It never really stuck until I got to college and used it myself.
3. Star Trek. Captain Kirk. “Dammit, Jim, I’m a doctor, not a __” Yep, I’m a trekkie.
