Make fun of other designations here thread

[RIP - VTEnviro]

^ Dude shoulda just left it as CPESC, CPSS.

I won student of the month in math one time in high school, I can't believe I forgot to put it on my business card.

 

[frazil]

I bet it's on your resume though!

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

^ Yes it's right next to my Junior Woodchuck Participation Award from camp when I was 9.

I didnt think you could be a level 2 deisgn proffessional without being a PE, PLS, PG, RLA, etc?

 

[SkyWarp]

Thoughts about PMP (Project Management Professional) or the new PgMP (Program Management Professional)?
I definitely frown at the association letters!

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread title. If it takes only 30 hours of "training" it shouldn't be after your name on a business card.

I was once a CPA.... Car Parking Attendant!

We're trying to get a guy in the office a certification from the National Institute of Science, so he can put those intioals behind PE.

another email gem:

Joe Blow

Senior Traffic/ITS Designer, TPM

TPM= "Task Package Manager"

 

[benbo]

a "package manager"? I might be afraid to put that on my email.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

^ Yeah he might wanna hold off on using that one.

The little old blue haired lady that works at the service desk at the grocery store in by town has 'guest relations' as the title on her name badge. Now if I were at a hotel that'd be fine, but that's a little pompous for a local supermarket.

So can they be sued if their clients don't get the job? Or their money back if they find an error?

Wow, I just saw an article that talked about someone being an 'FET'. Future engineer in training. Are you serious? That sounds like someone who's in high school thinking of majoring in engineering.

FET to EIT to PE?

I'm a FNWMIT - Future Non-Working Millionaire In Training.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

No they were using it instead of 'EIT'.

What the heck is John Doe, DM (ABD)?

A "Principal Engineer" at my company has DM (ABD) after his name. He doesn't have EIT or PE, but those letters that tell me if he is calling himself an engineer outside of work, the Texas board should come down hard on him.

BTW, our boards need to step it up a notch on pro-actively investigating and prosecuting non-licensed engineers. Until then, we won't have respect.

a google search lead to this, looks like some kind of medical term..
