Every now and then I get one of my coworkers asking me for advice on English grammar or spelling. Everyone here knows I have a degree in English (I think the part where the emphasis was Creative Writing got lost somewhere in the rumor mill), and, comparatively speaking, I'm the in-house expert. I don't really mind this sort of thing -- it gives me a chance to practice what editing/grammar skills I do have, and sometimes even lets me tackle tricky grammar or punctuation questions.
About five minutes ago I got a call from one of the guys on our project management team asking me how to spell "hawk a loogie." Because clearly I must know how to spell it. I have an English degree after all.
I love my job. :D
