My card just says ROBERT E. WOODBURN, RA,CSI,CCS" – due to our standard card format, it’s all caps, and the space is restricted, so there’s no room for “CCCA” (or even for space between sets of initials). I don’t have a title.

Pet names: What I am called varies by circumstance and what my role is. I am most familiar with: Hey, you!, You idiot, and &%$\* architect. The later is most often heard during and after contractor claim reviews. I have tried for years to teach my children to address me a Lord High Emperor of the Universe, but have been singularly unsuccessful. ---

In the spirit of the dog who thinks her name is “No, no, bad dog”, sometimes I think my title is “That got VE’d out and we’re using this now”… ---

Lead Specifications Writer and Project Manager. I write most of the specs in our small office, but that’s only about 25% of my time. The rest of the time, I’m wearing my architect hat or my manager hat or my marketing hat. ---

I suppose I could be the Assistant Chief Specifier (since we already have a Chief Specifier), but my card says “Architect/Specifier”. As pet names go, though, I guess it’s better than Fluffy. ---

In my previous position, I was known as “DOS” for Director of Specifications, or as “The Lord of the Specs” though I couldn’t make the specs dance a jig. Both of these titles jokingly implied a level of authority that of course was nonexistent. In my new position, I’m called lots of things. ---
