RE: Fire Under Pressure

Call me what you want.

Job titles are often a joke, sometimes explicitly so. Back in the nineties, the graphic design/marketing firm I worked I worked at was going to have business cards printed so I asked my boss what I should list my job title as and he said “whatever you want” so I did:

One-Eyed Jack of All Trades

It was actually accurate in that I’m blind in one eye and my work there included administering the network, Mac art production, typography, proofreading, hand-coding HTML, writing copy, and whatever else was thrown at me.

"Make it descriptive"

From what I understand, the titles are more sought over in the US than in Finland - but in Germany, there is also a very strong culture of "important titles" - they love to list all their degrees and if you have a PhD, the door is open.

I didn't know you were blind in one eye.

I didn't know you were blind in one eye.

I was born with a disconnected retina in my left eye. Easily fixed in infants now with laser surgery, not so much in the mid-fifties. Now, my left eye is a remarkably real-looking prosthetic; maybe some day I’ll get an upgrade.
