Maybe I should get a new title?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Craig was kind enough to send me a couple of articles about the hot job titles to have, “Business Technologist” aka “IT Business Technologist” or “IT Business Analyst”

Hmm, since every time I open my mouth in my office I’m technically communicating with non-IT people about IT, and trying to take their problems and find technical solutions to them, maybe I should look into upgrading my job title. It sounds a whole lot better than IT Specialist!

Yeah I know, I shouldn’t complain about IT Specialist, up until a year ago my job title was Database Administrator. IT Specialist is twenty times more accurate than that!

Thanks Craig!

    You know what really, really irritates me? When someone asks me for something and mentions how they need me to email it to them right away, and then I find that they don’t even check their email for it, and probably won’t actually need it for days. I may just have to re-institute a 2-3…

    KC Lemson was kind enough to point to Jeff’s post with some details about changes that will be coming to Internet Explorer with Windows XP Service Pack 2.

    Normally, there’s a dress code around our office, and it includes the whole tie/jacket thing most of the year, but I’m excluded from it. Now that doesn’t mean I get to wear jeans and t-shirts or anything like that, but unless I’m dealing with outside people, and that’s very rarely, I get to dress in…

    This should be about the last blog entry before we take off for Boston. Our flight’s at some ungodly hour (6AM), which with airport security being what it is, means us at Port Columbus around 4AM. Needless to say, there will be no time for an online presence this evening. But here’s a short list…
