Our payroll system was overhauled a few years ago, and it now claims I'm an "IT Spec III", but provides for an alternate "working title". I couldn't get "Utility Infielder" on my business card, so I kept the business cards that still say "Computer Systems Senior Engineer". I don't go through cards very fast. ;) One of my cohorts prefers the term "Mutagen". :) I've had the occasional whinge from pedants that complain that 'Engineer' is a controlled term and the state should take action on my use of it, and I point out to them (a) not in my field, yet, and (b) it was the Commonwealth of Virginia that *gave* me the title so they should feel free to take it up with the guys in Richmond.
