Re: Epic level of nominative determinism here
Ah yes, and he had a tough time I imagine.
A colleague from not long ago had many tales from when he was part of a helpdesk team at HP. One of the frontline helldesk people took a call (it was out of hours for the captain's normal SPOC) from a Captain Kirk, and was able to deal with the problem the captain had with his IT. As was normal, the helldesk drone ended the call with "and if you have any more problems, please contact SPOC".
Well the captain erupted, assuming the helldesk drone was making fun of his name. My colleague said it took a while to calm him down and explain that no, it wasn't Mr Spock being referred to, but SPOC - as in his Single Point Of Contact.
