Titles.

Big sis gave me my title... Slow Children  :D

The school system that I work for is relatively large, with about 110,000 students enrolled.  We have had a lot of turmoil within the district office and with our school's administration over the past few years.  We are continuously bombarded by e-mails, mostly from people who are creating work for us in order to justify their jobs.  The titles and accomplishments below their names at the bottom of their emails is amusing.  Many of the most accomplished and most competent only sign with their names.  Conversely, many of the inept include a list of titles below their names.

One of my good friends, who has been working at a different school for the past 12 years, decided to add "ASG"
below his name on all of his emails.  He even has it embroidered on some of his clothing.  I do not think anyone other than myself has ever questioned him about it.  When I asked him what the title "ASG" stood for, he replied,
"Agri Science Guru".  He is a very good ag teacher but I would hardly consider him a guru.  I do appreciate his sarcasm.  I am sure we will contrive several solutions to the district's numerous problems over the next several days while we are at the state fair.

If you really want to open a can of worms (old saying), let us change the topic from titles to "entitled".

I think we must have a whole department that does nothing but think up and change job titles,and acronyms my previous job title changed so often that I quit paying attention . I called my manager one time about an email regarding some acronym and asked him who these people were. He said "you " :D
I like my current job title " ln delivery driver " ,simple and to the point. I did ask and was rejected if we could change it to "whipping boy " though .

   Is "Scapegoat" still available?

I once told my friends, "If your sweetheart has the word 'sexing' on his hat, and you're not upset, you might be in love with a farmer."

We'll stick with titles for the title.
My original thoughts had to do with one looking at themselves, not how others look at you. There is no way to control that other than by how you look at yourself.

  In that case, I am simply a "Mountain Man."
  Although my life looks very little like my title's namesake, it describes my very inner being--and it has since I was too young to see it myself. I was told as a youngster I was born 100 years too late and way too far east! (born and raised in Indiana) :D
   I love mountains, trees and critters and all things far from "civilization." It reminds me how small and insignificant I am and that there is a power that created every glorious sight and adventure I experience when I am there.
   While my title is who I am, my PURPOSE is to share that with others so they can know their "title" and the Creator of all they see.

If this is about how we see ourselves, then I'm a very, very misunderstood, good hearted, honest, loyal hillbilly/mountain man/hermit looking fella that can't speak well on the spot which makes me look like I'm soft in the head to those who don't truly know me.

From the outside looking in from others' perspectives I'm the, uh, jerk of a hermit who doesn't socialize with my backstabbing neighbors if I can help it.  ;D
