everyone has had at least one stupid title at work
mine was "performance specialist"

My first job was "Junior Stores assistant".

Could they have made it sound less important, do you think?

I was once a Box Clerk.

And another time I was Deputy Regional Open Learning Liason Officer (Deputy ROLLO).

Was the guy above you King ROLLO?
Posted by Brock, 13:29, 20th May 2004:
 
Or were you the last ROLLO?

sorry

No, he was just the ROLLO.

Web Designer and Economic Vitality Analyst - yes, that's all one title, I was all in one job.

Interesting mix, don't you agree?

My current job is 'industrial placement'. Everyone else's time is at least twice as expensive as mine, except a few kids doing a year here after A-levels (i.e. I'm three years older and more educated than them. Not that I'm bitter about it, you understand... bastards.)

Never mind, the kids are alright.

"I couldn't do what I wanted to do if my lips were dry..."

*sigh*

Did my eyes go funny, or was that just edited?
Posted by Abe Frohman, 19:18, 20th May 2004:
 
Yeah, it was edited. First he wrote /Robbie Williams flashback, then changed it to Kylie and posted the next one to hide his trail.

The dog.
