I want to say her derby name is Madeleine All-Fight.

Oh, that rocks.

I'll second you on that. It's worse than callers assuming I'm a guy (firstname, profession) or asking 'is your husband in?' we still get that. they get to talk to mr. top-of-the-fridge.

Yep. first of all, it's business, we're not friends. Secondly, you've never met me. Plus, I returned a call from him about something else, with "Mr. ___, it's Ms. [Last Name] returning your call. I think there might be a mistake, I talked with Mr. [other guy that I've been dealing with] about that and we signed the paperwork a few weeks ago. If there's a problem, call me back." Shouldn't that be a fucking clue?

one of the department heads was bitten by a spider on Wednesday afternoon and no one has heard from her since despite phone and email messages asking what's happening.

She's clearly off fighting crime!!

Lisa, I have no good writerly suggestions....what other sort of writing besides technical writing are you doing? What would the next title up at your old job have been?

I'll be doing proposal & marketing writing. And updating their website content...which is really rather awful. I think I am a Technical Writer III here and the next one up is Lead Technical Writer. But that doesn't make sense for new job because I will be the only writer there.

Is Documentation Specialist dorky?

It's not dorky at all, but it suggests something more tech than marketing to me.

We have Content Developers here.

Hallo.

{{{{DJ & DJ's friend}}}} I know you've got muscle there, DJ, but remember that my guys are always willing to teach some manners to punkasses who can't treat women right.

I have no helpful suggestions, lisah. Sorry!

Vortex rocks.

I can't have Fernet until the end of the month! cries This will not dissuade me from pimping it on y'all, though.

Well, I do want my focus to be technical. I am happy that I'll be getting some more marketing-writing experience, and clearly they need someone to do that kind of writing for them, but I'm not interested in marketing as a career.

Documentation Specialist is good, but it makes me think of manuals.

On the offbeat side, I like:

Messager or Wordsmith (which I've seen several times)

My personal favorite title was "Special Projects Juggler". It got a lot of attention, served as a conversation starter, smile generator and all around good-will launcher.

eta: oooh. I like Content Developer! It sounds tech and it breeds respect.

I'd really rather have something that strikes fear in the hearts of everyone I meet.
