Wrookieschu who?

What’s the story behind your nickname?

Ok I thought this would be the perfect prompt to actually explain how I came about my blogging name Wrookieschu. You have to bear with me as it’s not a simple explanation.

I wanted my socials and blog to be open to the public but I didn’t want everyone able to find me, for example, my patients, my students or even certain extended family members. Therefore, I had to create an alias.

Firstly I swapped the first letters of my forename and surname with each other, so my first name became Wooke. Then I thought that was still pretty easy and I wanted to add a play to my German side of the family and always loved certain German words, such as Schuh for example. So my name became Wookieschu, however, I cannot remember where the R came from. I also was a huge fan of Star Wars so I loved that Wookie was included.

Chewbacca the Wookiee

I’m guessing I thought the name would look better with a WR at the beginning…and there you have it, Wrookieschu. It has been in existence for about eight years and although nobody has any idea what it means, I really like it so one reason or another.

Wayne’s Word – shift

It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.

If you’re joining in on today’s word, feel free to use this tag to connect your post to the series: #WaynesWord

Today’s word is SHIFT.

This has a double meaning for me today. I am having a shift with my blogging, not a huge shift but by starting this blogging series, I am hoping to be kept engaged with my blog and create a desire to blog more frequently. For instance, I very rarely would blog on a Monday.

Also when I think of shift, it makes me think of my shift at work today. As a nurse, we talk about shifts worked, as I’m sure many other professions do too. Today I have an extra shift this week, bringing my shift total to six this week. I don’t mind as I will be taking some time off over the Easter holidays, so I will just keep my head down and work away until Sunday again. I don’t want to wish my life away but roll on the weekend haha. I hope you have all had a marvellous Monday! I feel like once Monday is over, you can conquer the rest of the week.

What do you think of when you hear the word ‘shift’? You can even simply share your thoughts in the comment section if you wish or create your own blog post.

Many thanks,

Wayne
