Well that’s a bummer. Maybe the mods will be nice and let you have a name change.
Look at this sloth.

Funniest joke the Muppets ever did:
The Seven Deadly Sins show; big extravaganza featuring sketches involving six of the seven (they couldn’t find one of them). Show wraps up, credits finished, music done, there’s a knock on the door: Hi, I’m Sloth, am I late?
Yeah, I was thinking of changing it, but perhaps it’s more interesting this way.
Gaach. This is so disgusting that I just changed it. I never once saw the show so it never impinged on my consciousness. In fact, I would not have even understood the reference had not certain events occurred.
Ugh. I changed mine, too.
I think after four months on the job you guys are entitled to change it to Journeyman (er…Journeyperson?) Mod.
I wrote on my tax returns that my job was “journeyman actuary” one year. Now that I’m a master actuary, i just write “actuary”, though.
ETA: okay, I’m trying it on. Let me know if it makes my ass look fat.
@Hari_Seldon @raventhief, @puzzlegal:
If it makes you feel any better, I was actually only talking about the title of this thread. My eye glosses those gray subtitles, so they never invoked the same feeling.
But I’m all for you changing it. As @Colibri says, y’all deserve it.
Thread Title updated and mod title too.
Journeyfolk or journeyperson, please. Let’s not lose ground here.
Good call, but in reality what training are they receiving? I can’t tell who’s an apprentice, journeythey or master.
I think the term facilitator instead of moderator is a better description of the role of our jack booted hosts.
Journeythey works too.
Meaning no offense, but “journeyman” is already a somewhat obscure word, and I don’t want to muddy the waters by modifying it to a novel title. And hey, I’m used to it. My professional title is “Fellow of the Casualty Actuarial Society”. I’m quite proud of that title – lots of work to earn it.
Yes, I’m a woman. But I embrace both “journeyman” and “fellow” as mine.
Well, that’s weird. Your title is truncated on your post a ways up but not on this one. And the truncated version is replacing “…” for “mod”.
Interesting. I’m an FSA myself, but I’ve always felt there should be an added-level title called JGFSA, standing for Jolly Good Fellow of the Society of Actuaries. However, so far that title has failed to catch on …
That’s because so few would qualify that it’s not worth it.
I’m following your lead on this one. If you change to something less gender specific, I’ll do the same. If you’re keeping journeyman, I will do so.
The gender neutral version of journeyman is problematically long: “experienced tradesperson”. It also doesn’t convey the humor of Apprentice to Journeyman promotion.
According to this, Journeyman is gender neutral:

I went with journeymod.
(Just because I found it amusing)
You know, that’s cute. I’ll do it, too.
