[Web4lib] New Job Title Pulled from Thin Air

[Hopkins County - Madisonville Public Library]

All I can say is - I hate my job title, & I wish I could change it! For
someone who is webmaster, network manager, computer class teacher, fixer of
anything computery, purchaser of anything computery - & that's for a 2
library & bookmobile system...........

I ended up with Patron Technical Assistant!

Are there any others out there? I'd love to hear from them!

I've already claimed "Webgoddess" - it's even on my insurance forms as
my official job title! Just letting you all know...
