FL, surely your job title would be "Border Integrity Assurance Officer"... or perhaps just "Keeper of the Gates". I also think that all customs officers should sit on thrones from Game of Thrones. Bonus points if all agent stalls/desks can be outfitted with fog effect.

Housewife - The current one seems to be "full-time mom"... because mothers who go to work cease being mothers during business hours. "Oh, sorry, my child is sick? Please call back after 5pm once Mom status resumes. Cheers."

Default Re: Whats your job title?

My title is basic Night (works nights) Auditor (audits reports and financials for the day) but a more modern description would be Automated audit button pusher and sits all night, since the position is largely well entirely automated now, and all I really do, is push a button, wait for 100 pages of various reports to print, then take 5 of those pages and put in a few lines of them into excel spread sheet, and file the rest for 7 years in case CRA wants to see them.


I guess back in the day night auditors actually did audit and do basic accounting and bookkeeping,, but now not so much.

Oh and I fill out deposit slips.
