Warning….rant ahead.

I just can’t hold it in any longer.

I am sick of all these stupid job titles.

Web 2.0 has brought a lot jobs, but with them has come the silliness.

Chief Innovation Experience Design Officer

Vice President of Interface Evangelism

Chief Evangelist

Chief Blogging Officer

What the heck?

Yes, when there’s a new job you have to create a title that fits, but some of these titles are taking it a little too far.

I’m all for creativity but there’s a hint of self importance that irks me. And sometimes it’s just plain silly.

What if you have to go back to work at a more traditional firm. What are you going to put on your resume? Good luck trying to network with some Corporate America Head Honcho when your job title sounds just as ridiculous as President of Donut Consumption.

What do you think about these web 2.0 job titles? Do you have one yourself?

Every business owner has an area that they struggle in.

For me, it’s networking.

Over time I’ve found that a lot of people are only in it for themselves and they’ll suck you dry if you let them.

Someone clued me in that perhaps my problem was that I was seeking out the wrong type of people. To quote, “you need to be around people who are on your level.”

Hmm, I’m going to try that for 2009. I’m looking to connect with like-minded business women. Are you one of them? Drop me a line.

I’ve already got a great start by connecting with Natalie MacNeil of She Takes On The World.

She’s a great lady and we have a lot in common.

Check out this interview with me that she conducted.

When people discuss working from home one of the first things people want to know is “what do you wear”? There are assumptions that everyone must lounge around in their PJ’s all day but that is not true for everyone.

Personally, unless I have to meet with someone face to face, which is rare, I wear what is comfortable to me.

Most often that means shorts or sweats and I don’t see a problem with it nor do I feel that it decreases my productivity.

However one day I did get a little too comfortable when I had to make a quick trip to the store in the middle of the day. As I was walking around I was wondering why I was getting stares, and why every single man in the store asked if he could help me with something.

It wasn’t until I walked past the meat section and a cold breeze went up my butt that I realized that my shorts were a little on the short side. I’m talking Nair who wears short shorts. Never again will I rush out of the house without doing a butt check.

Besides, it doesn’t matter what you wear as long as you get the job done. But if you really want to wear something to make a statement then be sure to drop by Work At Home Wear.

What do you wear when you work from home?
