About me. Why is this so difficult? Seems like I should know more about myself than anyone else…and yet. I am at a loss…
I received my nickname of “Q” a few years ago when I was still working in corporate America. There were So. Many. Women. Named. JENNIFER. My co-worker dubbed me “Q” for my last name of Quinn. I wasn’t sure I liked it at first until she told me it was the name of an agent in the Bond Movies. Evidently “Agent Q” was the “go-to-make-everything-happen” character. Being a self- (and other) proclaimed overachiever, I LOVED IT!
My Twitter handle is @JennyQ. The irony is no one calls me Jenny. Never has. My mom made sure of that in 5th grade when we had two Jennifers and the teacher asked for a volunteer to go by Jenny. I was down with that. When I told my mother, she said I had to go back to Mrs. Allen and tell her I was not to be called Jenny. “I named you Jennifer because it is a beautiful name and no one is going to shorten it!” Yea. You and a million other mothers. It’s a great name, don’t get me wrong — but it is overplayed like a bad Katy Perry song. (oh, don’t get me started…)
So, where did JennyQ come from you ask? My dear hubby Jon calls me JennyQ and I LOVE it. So, that is what I used for my Twitter handle. And there you have it.
