What’s in a name?
Today I was informed that I should STOP telling people I am a dishwasher and start telling them I am THE Baker’s Assistant… because I do so much more then washing dishes… It was a nice thing for the Baker to say… I should have asked if more money came with the title change.
If you could choose a title for yourself… WHAT would it be?
Baker’s Assistant is good… but I have always been a little fond of ‘Scandinavian Goddess’ too.

It’s MooncatBlue’s BIRTHDAY! Because she isn’t honking her horn I will!

Den Mother….
I believe when I tell people I am “Full Time Student”, it makes me sound really smart. lol
I am the CEO of my household. Lots of power, but the pay ain’t what it used to be….
the procrastinator mom, hehe:) or overloaded back-to-school mom living in C-H-A-O-S (can’t have anyone over syndrome)
I am a “historical raconteur”.
Oh yes, next step to becoming a millionaire!
A title? Humm I’d take a “Dr.”
A blogger who blogs on Xanga.
You know, I think I’d rather be called UNEMPLOYED than have a title.
It’s so hard to work when it’s a beautiful day outside!!!
Oh the question meant to name a title that fits?
I guess then it’s something like “Duh”. lol
“Scandinavian Goddess” is great!
Kathi
lol… my title is Executive Director (sounds pretty fancy!)… but I don’t always feel treated that way. A name doesn’t always mean everything …
Supreme Commander has a nice ring to it.
I have been “the library goddess” for so many years I can’t imagine being anything else. Even tho I have been gone for over a year, I am still introduced to people that way
(at the moment, I would probably call myself Queen of the Muck Bucket)
Goddess of da Suds aint doing it for you?
Me? Supreme Captain of the Starship Improvise.
I don’t think people will ever stop calling me “Shorty.”
@prairiecowboy - That. was. awesome.
@turningreen - HAHAHHA!!! Im just a cook of my household
I am a glorified executive assistant to my computer. =)
Master Bater, of course
I was going for “Grand Imperial Pooh-Bah” myself.
Ahaha, didn’t mean to sound like I was stealing YOUR name! I don’t know what name I’d give myself.
When I worked in practice I was the “Fecal Queen” to my coworkers but the “Flea Lady” to the clients.. I much prefer my informal titles at work of “She who dispenses chocolate for injuries” and “Vampire” (that is a Capitol V, don’t you know).
Masterhuntfishcamp Executive Arborist-Ornithologist
or Fur Pimp
@beli_grrl - It suits you!
Hmmm…”Imperial Bitch Comander”
LOL
I prefer “Goddess of Destruction” myself. It sounds pretty awesome.
I have been called doctor for so long that I don’t know what or how things would be, if I were called by a different title.
Stud muffin
Hmm.. this is an interesting one.. I always call myself the “Jack of all trades” at work. At home, I’m a Domestic Engineer.
WOW! I have no idea! I am just me. Maybe “Everybody’s Mom” suits me best.
CEO/CFO of Dub Enterprises, INC.
(AKA: mom)
Ack! I was wondering why my footprints started coming from here. Thanks!!!
I’m going to have to think on the title. Scandinavian Goddess is hard to beat =0)
@SunnyMitsu - Be careful what you wish for.
i’d be Chief Earth Ass Kicker
Stopping by… waving Hi
my husband would like for me to be called ‘baker’s assistant’. [y'know, since it's our last name and all]
Old Yeller. It suits.
Princess of Ladyworld- the grand duchess of awesome, the alltime smartest citizen of funkytown, and the godess of fiction.Yep, that’s me!
I would like the title “Happy Billionaire” or “Award Winning Author” Since you have to actually have a billion dollars for the first and write something for the second I’ll settle for Hero. That’s what my husband called me the other day, “his hero and protector” Not bad eh?
You just kill me! /a Godess you are, Scandinavian is fine too. When your title moves to a higher level, you should get more money.
I think these things are called euphemisms; I a retired person; a senior citizen; elderly; accident prone, forgetful; a poor speller; finally one I saw in the 1860 Censes of someone, where they listed the occupation: useless. Is that not terrible Help me find some good euphemisms for retired old people so my self image will improve.
Uncle Jim
hmmm… I go by Major General in our household since I outrank my husband the Master Sgt. in all things domestic! LOL
And we’re organizing a roadtrip to Wisconsin for MoonCatBlue’s birthday. I think pub crawling is involved- you coming? LOL
World traveler
Well, if I could choose any title, I’d pick Independently Wealthy Woman, but only if the appropriate money came with it. Otherwise, as someone who is looking for a new, less stressful career, I don’t know.
@siennachartreuse - Me too! *sigh*
“The Mama”. That’s what I get called around here a lot. Then there is what my grandson calls me….”Guck”. I don’t care what he calls me…..as long as he calls me. Peace
TEACHER …not just from the students, but by the STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA!
Well, let’s see… I am a substitute teacher to a Jr. High school… Um… how about Crazy Woman? Insane?
Go see my blog. I mentioned ya! Hugs, Tracy
A title?… For me… how about “Poet”
dan
Mother Hen…for my new baby and all my animal “kids”.
No clue….can you think of one?
I like Bakers Assistant, although the Scandanavian Goddess is pretty good too!
Miss ya!
Hmmm. I was shop foreman here at work. Now I am the asst. plant manager. Same job, but much,much longer hours! Nothing wrong with staying a dishwasher!LOL!
Scandinavian Goddess… I love it! Is that with a helmet with horns? Oh sorry, that’s a viking, not a goodess.
@nattata - Duh, no. Dr. yes.
As
for me, Dr. is so close that I want something else now. I think I want
“kung kung” (grandpa). Talk about pressure on my 5 and 7 year-olds!
@Danth - Like I’ve always called you, Poet (with a capital P)
Zoo Keeper!
Right now I’m the “Director of Good Times” and that’s a good enough title for me!
@the_best_stuff - HAHAHAH!!!
And I’d love to be called Chair-Warmer.
Since I sit all the time at work!
@cre13 - true, but it makes people feel like they’ve more worth when they’re in a not-so-great job. you’d be surprised at how much a title means to someone and how much better they’d work if they had a better title, one to be proud of.
i don’t think my title is too bad (media coordinator). it has no bad implications, to me, so i am content with it.
it’s funny how those letters after your name makes ordinary people run away. ><
@WinsomeONE - Haha, you plan early!
I d’no… I guess I’ll get my titles once I’m in the Marines (God willing, and only if president-elect doesn’t mess up the military.
)
I am the president of my house. I won by a landslide and the first female, yay. Now, if I can just get the VP to pick up his shoes.
A title?!? For a DONKEY! Most of my titles start with JACK! LOL!
The Queen
Madame President
Mrs.
J.K. Rowling
I like the title RETIRED.
Speaking of names, Man On A Mission was taken. I’ve decided to become Mcdalemin.
Queen of the Jungle.
((It’s because my hero is Gertrude Lintz and I ALWAYS have a lot, and I do mean A LOT, of pets.))
=)
I think I shall go with “Domestic Goddess”.
