So yah...

That thing... that I was talking about a little while ago. Well, it has happened. And, on my birthday of all days. So yay!
I received my offer letter today for an internal position in my company as a "Data Integrity Analyst". I GOT A NEW JOB!!! It isn't as fancy as it sounds! I am, however, liking the semi-fancy sound of it.
So thinking about the semi-fanciness of my title started me thinking about some unusual job titles I have seen or read about and had a little giggle over some that have been either fictional or non-fictional. Remember when "Domestic Engineer" was a joke?

Here are a few:
  • Human Relations Coordinator
  • Front-End Developer
  • Custodial Engineer
  • Thought Jockey
  • Chief Dream Expert
  • Fluffer
  • Malicious Logic Specialist

Nowadays, with how fast technology has crept into our world and how quickly we've had to adjust to its intoxication, it isn't a wonder the number odd job titles that have also crept up over the years in relation to technology. There have been articles and blogs written about the funny slash odd slash weird job titles and descriptions that have been floating around the tech-world for some time.

Things like:
  • WebNerd
  • VBA Rockstar
  • Java Virtuoso
  • .Net Ninja
  • Windows Application Crash-Inducer
  • SuperGeek

So keeping with the whole "creative" motif I am sending a letter to reprographics telling them to print my new business cards to read something like:
