Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My formal title is Senior Application Architect... at a publishing company.

See, that makes sense. It's like you're building stuff. The books are the boards and the authors are the nails... and to get anything done you have to hit the authors over the head with a hammer....

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'm Human Resources Manager, which is the most boring title ever. Luckily, I love my job.

Perfect!

Fast Company magazine (which I have not read consistently for years) used to have a feature profiling cool titles. They make a difference!

Even if you have a boring actual title, you can always make one up for yourself. For one of my clients, I'm "She Who Saves Himself, from Himself."

HR Manager can easily translate into "Cat Herder."

What would your title be if you it could be what you would have it be?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I stayed home today, but spent all morning online giving people tasks and prioritizing their work.

I am just starting to feel better. so YAY!

Also working on a few exercises in not being a control-freak. I am not sure I am doing very well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I do know an architect who will rant and rave at any opportunity about Information Professionals using the word architecture and etc. "WHERE'S THE ARCH!?!?!" he says.

Human Resources Manager, which is the most boring title ever.

More boring than "Corporate Communications Representative"?

What would your title be if you it could be what you would have it be?

I dunno, but I've been known as "The Can Opener" since often when I start testing I open a can of worms.

The Can Opener

Love. It.

I aspire to, but never ascended to this height. Mostly just 'Raker of Muck.'

I just referred to myself as the Queen of Budget Estimates, but that's only a small part of what I do.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Um, hey, so you guys that live in the Raleigh-Durham area, the husband and I are kind of talking about moving up there. In the sense that he's threatening to quit his job next week, and we have pretty narrow requirements for where else we'd be willing to live.

Want to pimp your city to me?
