"Hazardous Materials Engineer" has a nice ring to it. What are some other cool-sounding job titles? Do you have a cool-sounding job? Does it live up to its title?

― Andrew (enneff), Friday, 14 November 2003 01:50 (twenty-two years ago)

"Bar Manager" doesn't sound overly exciting, no. But it does mean I start work at two in the afternoon. And have cute waitresses.

― Matt (Matt), Friday, 14 November 2003 01:58 (twenty-two years ago)

"Day and Billing Supervisor, Langson Library Reserves." Oh, the white-hot passion.

Pension plan for that?

― Matt (Matt), Friday, 14 November 2003 02:02 (twenty-two years ago)

benefits are shit but the hours are good

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 14 November 2003 02:03 (twenty-two years ago)

"Senior Telepathy Engineer"

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 14 November 2003 11:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I've no idea how cool my job title is. I just know that it's long winded - Electronic Content Quality Controller. Prior to that I was an Assistant Local Applications Manager.

― MarkH (MarkH), Friday, 14 November 2003 11:47 (twenty-two years ago)

'Change Management Support Specialist' ooohh yeeeaaahh...

― robster (robster), Friday, 14 November 2003 11:51 (twenty-two years ago)

apparently, the big boss man wanted the job title to be Electronic Content Production Controller, then we'd be "easy peasy".

― MarkH (MarkH), Friday, 14 November 2003 11:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I used to work as a Hausmeister. How cool is that!

(don't translate plz)

― Herbstmute (Wintermute), Friday, 14 November 2003 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

"Workshy Fop" should be written in my passport, according to "friends" of mine. Not that job titles go in passports anymore.

My flatmate is "Curator of Non-Marine Molluscs" at the Natural History Museum, and I think that's pretty fucking cool.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Friday, 14 November 2003 13:47 (twenty-two years ago)

"Asshat Engineer".

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 14 November 2003 13:50 (twenty-two years ago)

logistics planner - woohoo

although I used to be an Inventory controller

― chris (chris), Friday, 14 November 2003 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

"Laboratory Network Manager" = I unlock passwords and update McAfee Viruscan DAT files.

― Spinktor the Unmerciful (mawill5), Friday, 14 November 2003 13:52 (twenty-two years ago)

"Audio Visual Assistant" - I am your eyes and ears! Though I'm quite irritated that my job is considerably more than being an 'assistant' these days.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 14 November 2003 14:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Assistant Resources Co-Ordinator. The vague ones are the best.

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 14 November 2003 14:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Curator of Non-Marine Molluscs.

=

Snail Keeper.

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Friday, 14 November 2003 14:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Community Events Co-ordinator (one of my many titles, the key one is "dipshit" though) makes it sound like I organize the events, when really, all I do is compile the weekly calendar.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 14 November 2003 15:17 (twenty-two years ago)

i once saw a guy listing his job as "Pumpin Truck"

he wasn't the driver, apparently, he was the TRUCK, and he was PUMPIN, yo!

― Jay Dee Sah Mon (Kingfish), Friday, 14 November 2003 15:39 (twenty-two years ago)

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 14 November 2003 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Lollipop lady?

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 14 November 2003 15:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Curator of Non-Marine Molluscs = Snail Keeper

Absolutely spot-on! He loves snails, has pictures of them on his walls and everything. Hates slugs tho, go figure.

I once witnessed the incredible sight of two massive (like, 5 inch-long) slugs fucking on our kitchen wall. Really, it was beautiful.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Friday, 14 November 2003 16:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Anything where you can be a sergeant-at-arms.

― Girolamo Savonarola, Friday, 14 November 2003 16:25 (twenty-two years ago)

My main task for the next three months or so could well be described as Hazardous Materials Analyst!

When I was editing comic books my boss was getting business cards for me and asked what my job title should be. Thinking it wasn't a serious question (editor, obviously) I proposed International Excutive Managing Editorial Director. He thought I was serious and wanted to know if that might be a little on the long side for a card.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 14 November 2003 20:55 (twenty-two years ago)

what was his title, Martin?

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 14 November 2003 20:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Managing Director - straightforward enough.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 14 November 2003 21:31 (twenty-two years ago)

hmmmm...

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 14 November 2003 21:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm a Client Care Specialist because I care so much.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 14 November 2003 21:40 (twenty-two years ago)
