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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

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.

Compassionately intolerant

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?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

My official title is Senior Medical Transcriptionist, but actually I have been here long enough that I am Files & Records. I once walked past two residents looking over a chart and wondering, "Who's Dr. A. Grady? There's nothing in the hospital directory." and I butted in to explain that Dr. Grady was a cardiology fellow X years ago, but has since married and changed her name to Othername-Grady and has a junior faculty appointment at UC Davis Med Center, and they can find her current contact info either through Secret Database A, over here, or through the UC Davis website, accessible through the Office of the President website, accessible through this secret passageway in the UCSF online directory over here, but if they wanted to wait five minutes I had her clinic, voice mail, pager and fax number on my desk.

I'm fairly sure my eyes actually did the same flickering thing as the Wolfram & Hart Files and Records woman.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm fairly sure my eyes actually did the same flickering thing as the Wolfram & Hart Files and Records woman.

Of course they did. You're Files and Records. It's Your Job.

That's funny, but I think that the word architecture is related to arch as in 'Arch Enemy" or "archdiocese" rather that Arch as in Triomphe. I think that is designates who is in charge, not who prefers curved entryways.
