I share an office with another guy. We’re both smart, and we both work on reporting a lot (among other things). We are the answer guys when someone needs to know “why does this report show this number, it doesn’t seem right to me,” and we are the guys they come to when they need a new report.
So I want to post a sign outside our office, where the previous person had a metal nameplate, with some clever reference to who we are and what we do. Think 8-1/2 x 11 paper in landscape mode.
I manage a droup like yours. We recently restacked our office, and my desk is right under a huge sign reading “Data Recycling Area”. I won’t let Facilities remove it!
Heh. One time I was a contestant on Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, and when he asked me (on air) about my job, I didn’t want to try to explain what I do, so I just said “I work for a large metropolitan daily newspaper.”
Fell completely flat. No-one, I guess, got the reference. Or maybe it’s just not amusing.
(I was going to add “I also wear glasses, and I have an alter ego,” which was true at the time, but the opportunity did not arise.)
