My fame spreads!

Apparently the astronomers I work with now know me as 'grouchyoldcoot'. I wonder how that connection got made? (And no, I don't think they just started calling me that spontaneously...)

It seems unlikely, since they aren't supercomputing people- but it's a fair guess. There are some supercomputing people in the collaboration and they might have been swapping stories.

I *think* my FB page doesn't refer to me by my LJ name- though with the way people tag photos and such, it's impossible to keep things separate any more. I haven't seen the researcher in question on FB. Maybe I should look- or maybe I shouldn't. My coworkers only need to know so much about my dysfunctional cats!

Well, damn! I must have done that on purpose, somehow...
