Systems Analyst.
I don’t think I’ve analyzed a single system since I started. When people ask me what I do for a living, I don’t know what to tell them, since most people aren’t familiar with the term “systems analyst.” I used to say “I’m a computer programmer,” but I realized that’s not really true. Now I just say “I work in IT,” and hope they’re satisfied. Once I’ve said that, they know about as much about my job as I do.
Another lab monkey! Cool.
Hi Smashed.
System Support Technologist
The job description includes just about everything to do with user-side computer stuff - hardware, software, training, docs, some Web stuff, … Right now I’m on the helpdesk, and do some docs between calls.

Yeah I work at Subway, but it’s fun and I get free food and ice cream.
I’m currently unemployed (and loving it!) but during my internship last year I was in charge of making nametags for our group’s national convention. My title, which I gave myself: Director of Event Personnel Identification. My boss called me DEPI (pronounced Dee-pie) after that. A lot of people, including my other bosses, called me Young [First Name], because at 16 I was 3 years younger than the next youngest intern and 5 years younger than most. It was fun making a 21-year-old feel old after telling her I had almost no memory of the 80s. Oh, and my official title was Development Intern.

He Who Must Be Obeyed and when I’m not dreaming, Program Manager.
Principal Copy Editor
“That Fucking Temp” or “Career Temp Chick”
used to be “Transient Sales Supervisor”, “Reservation Sales Manager” and “Revenue Manager”. All 3 translate to “underpaid idiot who works too many hours and may be blamed for anything that goes wrong in this hotel”.
Now I am “Support Engineer” (what a complete bullsh** title), have no power whatsoever and only my own actions to be responsible for. It’s heavenly
Lieutenant
Me too! Actually, I’m a Senior Research Associate, but I think that might be because I had my Ph.D. when I started.
S.R.A. is my university/paycheck title, but I also have a plethora of titles for the various projects I work on:
Project Director of the ___ Study and the ___ Study
Research Project Director of the ___ Program
Web Content Manager for the ___ Program
___ Listserv Moderator
Because my main job gives me titles instead of money (just kidding – sort of), I occasionally take additional work as a Statistical Consultant and Data Analyst, and on weekends I’m a Legal Transcript Proofreader.
