| The chairman of the board of our company called me into his office to tell me the good news. I was being promoted to Vice President of Corporate Research and Planning. Of course, I was excited, but that didn't stop me from asking for my new title to be changed to Vice President of Corporate Planning and Research. "Why?" asked the chairman. "Because," I said, "our organization uses abbreviated job titles, and I don't want be known as VP of CRAP." |
