They'll try and make anything sound good!
What's a housewife called nowadays? I'm fed up with it now, but until I learn to drive, I'm stuffed!

Re: Whats your job title?
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."

I think FL should be called "Valiant Defender of the Gates of All Canada and Stamper of The Form That Shall Not Be Folded".

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.
