After my earlier post today, this is a little morbid… but I couldn’t help but laugh.

Fun… Lightning, etc..

(I wonder how the stuff at home went… )

I’m not sure if where I work is unique, but they seem to have a knack for coming up with new job titles - even if they’re no way related to what you do, or even an official job title.

For most of last year, I was an Analyst - which was great, since I could apply the skills I learned in my Year 11 1U Maths in Practice class. Just checking, 1+1 = 11, right? (According to Javascript, yes — alert(’1′ + ‘1′);). Admittedly, most of my day was spent pulling data from system, and then writing up reports - so I guess it was analysis, of a sort.

After that, I was temporarily a “Data and Applications Specialist” — but that was a little too close to the truth, so it was quickly changed to “Process Specialist”. Lest anyone actually figure out we’re doing application development. I’m not sure quite what process I’m a specialist on, but apparently I am. So, Ssshh.

I’ve just had someone call me a “Build Manager” — I think that means I need to get the architect and builders on site…
Perhaps, instead, I need to organise the cleaners and security guys. Maybe this will also mean I can say who can and can’t park in the building… Wow, I guess I could turn this into real money spinner, given that parking spaces are at a premium.

After hearing about a friend’s suicide recently, this little comic is… a little sad, but still worth sharing.

(Edit: fwiw, Jen (Madison) was a NZ’er too)

Very cool trailer, Watch it here (Lower Res) - or over Here (higher res). (Both are in Flash, so no quicktime needed, unless you want to watch the HD version)
