Happy Birthday Jen K!
Happy Birthday meara!
Last night I had burritos with cream cheese and beansprouts and a little salsa. I was lazy and tired.
I also need Buffista brainstorming. I am getting business cards at work and they are letting me pick my own title. That is, I am officially "Secretary IV" but I don't have to put that on my cards. I have been using Program Assistant, but the boss feels that we are not a program. She likes Coordinator, but that seems naked without some other word. We cannot use titles like Administrator or Administrative Assistant because those are actual job titles here that I do not have.
Our office, the Center for Lifelong Learning, produces credit and non-credit classes for health-care professionals who are doing additional learnin, not in degree programs. I do a wide variety of things that make our business-line run, from producing marketing materials to talking to students. I process all the registrations and prepare the money for deposits. I work with course instructors to order their supplies, rooms equipment and make everything run smoothly. I work with IT. I update our web-site. I come up with processes for improvement. I do this with little or no direction.
Office Coordinator, Student and Faculty Liaison
I like the double title as it gives a better sense of all you do.
I am so glad Foxy is stepping up the crazy and tacky while Lil' is "away".
Administrative Coordinator? Division/Dept. Coordinator? Academic Coordinator? All-Purpose Coordinative Goddess?
Kim's out, no?
I like Office Coordinator, Student and Faculty Liaison.
If Kim is out, she is being verra quiet. Maybe she's working in the studio.
Tom, how are you doing?
JZ! Are you still in bed rest?
Anybody else I can go all Jewish-mommy on?
All-Purpose Coordinative Goddess?
Hee!
Office Coordinator, Student and Faculty Liaison.
This is good and encompassing.
Frankly, I am just so happy that they aren't making write Secretary on everything!

I've officially accepted the job offer and told most of my coworkers. So far the reaction's been, "Congratulations! We hate you for leaving, but congratulations! You'll get how much vacation time? Forget the congratulations, we just hate you. Oh, alright. Congrats. Also, grrr. Any openings for [their kind of position]?"
And now that it's sinking in that I'm taking on a Web Editor position, I feel a sudden need to memorize the Chicago Manual of Style. *gulp* People will be trusting me to choose where the commas go? Madness!
Tom, how are you doing?
I'm OK. My therapist is back from vacation today. Yay!
