The What Manager?

[zenataomm]

I got an eMail from C&RT as I'm on their volunteer list, extract below.

 

In the meantime you can find out more about how we manage our water at

Now there's a job title to go to bed with and no mistake!

I suggest as a less precocious alternative " Keeping the Bottom From Near The Top Manager"

Been a bit under pressure this summer!

Means he can never go on holiday when the weather is nice and sunny. Also has to go in to work regardless when it is too stormy, or is there a different manager for too much hydrology?

Or perhaps he is responsible for ensuring there is just enough rain that the canals are filled up, in which case, no bonus this year!

“The What Manager?”

 

And there was me expecting a thread about a new type of battery monitor.

Little-known but (to some) fascinating fact: "un wattman" is French for a tram driver. It's one of my favourite French words, but occasions to use it are few, unless I'm in Bordeaux where there are lots of trams, so I thought I's slip it in here.

I suggest that a more accurate title would be hydrologistics manager, as it is about the management, rather than the study, of water but that would be even more pretentious.  But as everyone who remembers the BT adverts will recall, 'if you've  got an ...ology, you're a scientist', so I guess the more pretentious the better, is the current thinking when it comes to job titles.

Yeah Athy, leave him alone - it's not his volt. (Power mad, some of joule lot)

Can't have been,  pressure is related to depth (head) of water. ?

In this day and age everyone is a manager , executive or consultant. Still, I guess a plastic badge is cheaper than a pay rise.

Perhaps we could start a new thread on "Most Pretentious Job Title"?

 

I'll start the bidding with another one from CRT - "Spatial Planning Intern"

Is that something to do with the canals on Mars?

It was actually a planning response to something in Milton Keynes several hundred yards from the nearest waterway where the meat of the communication was "No Comment". Dressed up in several paragraphs explaining the charitable status of CRT, what they did, why they cared, the various acts under which they operated and who they represented (which I'll leave for another posting).
