I can’t believe there’s a job title at my company called “Functional Team Manager.” Isn’t being functional a prerequisite of middle management, at least in theory? I don’t go around calling myself “Competent Communications Manager.” I like to assume that it’s implied.

Since we are apparently allowed to put extraneous words in our titles, maybe I can add a few that give more of an idea about who I am as a person. For example: “Sensuous Communications Manager Who’s In Tune With Your Feelings.”

That’ll fit on a business card, right?
