Glamorous Names For Your Job

I'm the office Alpha Geek.

My business card says "Video Network & Systems Manager"
 
I'm just a Programmer/Analyst. No glamorous titles there. Granted, the non-computer people at work would have you think us programmers are magicians when we make work easier for them.

Here's other jobs where I work:

Frontline Technician (Also called Computer Specialist) = Help Desk
Housekeeper (Also called Floor Technician or some nice sounding name) = Janitor
Office Specialist = assistant secretary or something (not where I work, but other places affiliated with the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) ).


@Turner - They let me babysit one of their servers at work now. :p

I shall ask my dad for some. Part of his Clinical Director stuff is to invent "exciting job titles for some pillock", to quote him after a bad day. Consultant Microbiologist means he finds out and tells the doctors/nurses etc what interesting infections the patients have/n't got, and what to do/not do about it. However, he earned brownie points with the managers for telling them he was running a "multidisciplinary team-building exercise, open to staff from other directorates, with weekly reviews and performance indicators".
= the Fantasy Footy! Team-building .... :rotfl:

What language? I am currently learning C++, and good look on your server babysitting.

@Turner: you do a great job stopping us from killing each other, and keeping us from starting "spam" fights with each other. And censoring commercials that occasionally arise, while protecting us from the "trolls" under our bridge to the world that is CFC.

As do the rest of the mods.
 
I was a 'Key Colleague' on the Merchandising Section once.

Basically a Shelf Stacker.

I think in some U.S stores they are called 'Associates'.

Fun, isn't it? Get to watch all the blinking lights, and listen to the fans and the A/C running at about 65° (~18°C)....

Turn off the lights in the server room. It's more, um, 'soothing' that way. ;)

Hmmm, is saying "Attorney at law" more glamorous than saying "Lawyer"?

"Advisor on the continuity of the law and all subsidiaries" sounds better than both :)

:lol: Yep, It is noisy and cold in the server room. It's also known as the "Meat Locker".

One fun thing is to remotely eject a CD-ROM Drive and see which server is what.

It's such BS when companies come up with these names for subordinates, unless they've got some profit sharing deals going I suppose.

I actually had to do that once to identify a server because the boneheads who set up the server room didn't label the servers. Why should they? They knew what was what. :rolleyes:

At my last job, it was called the "Star Trek Room" because of the huge video displays and blinking lights we had.

It does sort of imply that you uphold the law, rather than bending it, distorting it, and generating hundreds of pages of paperwork in order to pad your bill.

Reminds me of the classic irc quote about the guy who had a computer on his home network with which he could do everything except finding out where the damned thing was actually physically located.
