My title is quite straightforward, train driver. It makes sense.

You drive trains? DSB, Arriva or S-Tog?

I sit at Sølvgade/Kalvebod as an external consultant.

The funny looking red ones. Only ones I know on Kalvebod are the traffic controllers, but they could use consulting. :p

Well I travel with them every morning when I go to Sølvgade (twice a week) but it isn't the trafic controllers I help :)

I'm just an import agent. Nothing fancy at that. Before I had seafreight added to my job I was airfreight import agent.  :ph34r:

a Blackberry (only management gets those, too)

For some reason, this makes me  :lol:
Actually, I forgot that all of the implementation people have Blackberries, which makes sense since they're on the road up to 100% of the time.

This is the first time I've ever been given a Crackberry, and man, contrary to all the bitching from people who have them as electronic leashes, I'm having a blast with mine.

I was in training today, and cracking a guy up on the other side of the room with Full Metal Jacket IMs.  SOUL BRUTHA TOO BEAU COUP

I love this thing.

They kept trying to make me get one in Boston and I kept refusing.... because I knew I'd become an addict.  :Embarrass:

I sometimes read and even send email while driving. :ph34r:

You got a death wish or something?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

My title is Senior Business Analyst.  Got bumped to that from Senior Actuarial Analyst after failing one too many exam.

In your company is a senior actuarial analyist an associate of the Society of Actuaries, or do they give that title out before you're an associate?

At my last place of work there was a round of review of titles and promotions handed out and I arranged to have no title at all on my card.  Within the organization I was just known by name.  It was a nice counterpoint to some of the pointless bullshit titles that were handed out.

When I moved on to my current gig I tried to keep that, but some HR types insisted that titles were required, so now my card says "writer".  Which is what I do.  Not very fancy at all, but fancier than what I'd like.

My last credit was "written by", the one I gave up on leaving my last job was "written by" and I expect my next credit to be "written by".  Not fancy sounding, but I like it.
