I don't post so much here anymore.

Do *what* now?
Looking through his contact info on Outlook, my coworker discovered that it thinks his title is "Sr. Digital Media Analyst". Considering he's an entry-level programmer this was a bit of a surprise. Needless to say, none of us actually knows what a Sr. Digital Media Analyst does. My best guess is that this is the guy who sits around all day ( Read more... ) -
