I got mine when I was a closer at a car dealership. Everyone who walks into a dealership expects the closer to be a huge fat guy who smells like cigarettes, unbuttons one too many buttons on his shirt & wears too much jewelry + a pinky ring. Needless to say my straight forward approach was a surprise to customers & had good success. My boss said that I could close the "impossible" customer (turns out people like honesty - who knew???). He was a dad & then decided I was KimPossible after the cartoon character. Probably didn't hurt that I had red hair at the time! The nickname stuck & here we are....... Plus I like it WAY better than Kimmie, Kimster, Kimmer, Krim, KimmiePoo, Kimmie Boo Magoo, KimSue (not my middle name). I have been called all these - let's stick with KimPossible!
