Just found out in a meeting that we have an “execution manager” as part of our client team.
To me, it conjures up images of an Alan Sugar type but when he says “you’re fired”, you suddenly drop into a tank of hungry sharks with frikkin lazers on their heads.
Is there any other type of bread maker or does the artisan in the title just mean he wears tighter jeans, wears superfluous glasses and grew the beard?
I make about three loaves a week how do I know if I’m just baking bread or baking Artisan bread?
Nasty geezer but amazing job title – anyone claiming sovereignty over every living thing on the planet and in the sea has clearly got a bit of Napoleon Complex to say the least:
Idi Amin “His Excellency President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea, and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular.”
Got asked my occupation by a financial adviser, to which I answered “duct erector”. When the written report came, I was discribed as a “duck director”. Don’t know which sounds worse.
Funny, I got an email from someone today who was clearly trying to up their position, by referring to themselves as a Performance Improvement Executive.
A couple I’ve had as summer jobs during university:
‘Replenishment Technician’ at the local supermarket;
‘Fire Watchman’ – this was the legit job title, and my role was to keep an eye on the welders who were building a new vessel in a potentially explodey part of a pharmaceutical plant. If anything caught fire, I had to run and hit the nearest fire alarm. The only time something did catch fire, the welder just put it out with his glove. I learned a lot about the life of a contractor during that job, and earned a huge amount of money for quite literally sitting on my arse 🙂
