Junior Senior

All good things come to and end I suppose.

I was quite proud of my job title at work. After being there for almost three years and ending up as the longest serving developer I could proudly proclaim that my job title was still officially "Junior Html Programmer". I was immensely fond of that title, especially in that it bore not the slightest relation to what I actually spent my days doing and hadn't done so for years.

Alas that came to an end today when a small departmental cabinet reshuffle resulted in several "Junior" titles being forcibly stripped away, mine amongst them. I protested but to no avail (and my suggestion that my new title be "Programmer Without Portfolio" didn't seem to be taken seriously)

I'm now a senior something-or-other. The worst part of it is that although I've never been bothered by job titles before (especially when the change of title doesn't come with any sort of financial renumeration), I was still secretly pleased by the paper promotion.

I feel like I sold out when I wasn't looking.

Oh well, tomorrow I'll try abusing my new found power and see if that cheers me up any. I can feel my hair getting pointier by the minute...
