Making up a fancier sounding title for "Telemarketer" in another thread (although it wasn't good enough to copy here) got me to thinking about alternative titles to otherwise mundane jobs.
When I worked at a service station in college, we called ourselves Petroleum Transfer Engineers.
How about you? Got any good ones, either ones you've heard/used or just soemthing you've made up?

When I worked at the Long Beach airport, fueling planes, I had a similar title, Petroleum Transfer Technician.

I am a Data Archeologist.
(I work with huge sets of B2B marketing data. Often involving quite a bit of digging and cleaning.)
