“Advising Coordinator” I assign students to faculty advisors, and give them (the students: but sometimes the faculty) basic information they could have found out for themselves if they knew where to look for it. 🙂 * * * \<\< Ni! \>\> ---

And what gets worse is that it has to be in the three languages of Sri Lanka: Sinhala, Tamil and English. English on one side, Sinhala and Tamil on the other. ---

It seems so grown-up! \*\* Business cards only mean that you can trick someone into paying for five hundred little pieces of cardboard with your deets on’em. When I worked for an investment firm, they were high-fiber linen, and they _engraved_ the bastages. I think I made a pyramid with them one day. Then I threw out 300 of them when I quit that job. My BIL uses them to note his fantasy football changes on, which is about the best usage. Oh, and in my next post abroad I’ll be US Vice-Consul. ---

They call me a Senior Accounting Specialist. Kinda interesting since I’ve only been doing accounting work or about a year, and still don’t think I know a damn thing about accounting. Oh well, it pays the bills - for the most part. ---

> [@](#): > > I dream of having a business card someday. It seems so grown-up! That cracked me up! Years of marketing (which are long past) ingrained in me the habit of carrying 'em, but I probably scribble notes on 50 of them for every one I actually give to someone. ---
