did you ever give your job a glamourous title

[gbb]

in a former job that took me to S America, Egypt and Europe I jokingly referred to myself as a Transcontinental Installation/Field Engineer.

Basically I'm a maintenance engineer

At a mate's place of work, one of the job titles was Assistant Engineer. The Assistant Engineer not surprisingly reported to The Engineer. The Engineer's boss was the Secretary of State for Wales.

Assistant Engineer was a very senior position

Not the permanent under-secretary?

Thinking about it, I like the one that Mark Radcliffe used, when he worked at Picadilly Radio in Manchester, in the mid-80s (we're off to see him, on Friday evening )

for his own amusement, he called himself the 'Assistant (for) Regional Strategic Events', who had an underling, who was a 'Technician In Training'

As Radcliffe was 'over' (boss of said minion) I'll let you all work out the acronym

Pencil Wrangler or Crayon Manipulator are usually ascribed to me by those who don't care about or understand good design.

Not so glamorous, I once heard a former manager of mine, an former RAF technician refer to someone as a 'shiny'
Eh, what's that ?...I asked.

Shiny trousers...an office worker, someone who never gets off their backside and their trousers get a shine on them.

I have a moderately glamourous title at least for another 4 years. Although some may argue that the noun 'Canada' in it immediately renders it nice but boring rather than glamourous which is probably true.
