Ok, I admit it, I'm stealing this from my friend Jamee's Facebook page. Did I mention this blog is going to have lots of stolen objects included in it? I'm a collector of somewhat useless but entertaining information. Aha! So that's MY job description.
My husband works for a tech company, and even though his description changes drastically, what he really does is customer service, cleverly disguised as "product operations". Where do they come up with these titles, anyway?
Here goes:
A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts:
"Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?"
The man below says, "Yes you're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field."
"You must work in Engineering or Information Technology," says the balloonist.
"I do," replies the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," says the balloonist, "Everything you have told me is technically correct, but it's no use to anyone."
The man below says, "you must be a Program Manager."
"I am," replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position you were before we met, but now it's my fault."

So, Eric is doing lots of statistics in Excel and I (actually having real knowledge of statistical applications in Excel) have been helping with his homework. He has really been enjoying yelling at the computer: "Do it for me, I'm a manager!" and then asking me how to get the computer and the textbook to say the same thing.
