I just sent this email to my director:
Greg,
I think the new blinds in 301 look awesome.
That said, I think it should be a policy in F.A. that all the blinds are kept at the same height at all times.
It will improve the aesthetics and be a visual indication of teamwork.
Sincerely,

Did you have anybody in mind for the Photon Exclusion Device Vertical Positioning Operative?

Operatives are so low on the pecking order...

Naturally I assumed this would be a team matter - the operatives would make the changes under the supervision of team leaders who would report into managers who in turn would sit under a structure of various directors and vice presidents

Rugby,
I don't throw around the term 'genius' but you'd certainly qualify.

How you really lose your job is when I inform Greg that you were actually being sarcastic!

Reads as a joke.
We got those blinds here. Goes automatic up and down, over all windows on the same floor.

Up-vote for using "sheveled," an example of back-formation, lonely etymon, and (depending on which cunning linguist you talk to: cran-morpheme) !

I feel so much respect for your having the courage to stand up in the work-place, unashamed, and assert your right to publicly put-on, and take-off, the prostheses !
I know that's not without personal cost, and I feel your pain.
admiringly, Bill

HI,
I am currently working as a Web developer and pursuing MBA part time. Now after completing MBA, I want to move into IT management side of world.
From last 1-2 years, I have been providing solutions to my employer, and implementing them. My job requirement is more than a developer (Who just work on a given task). Now I have an option to change my role. What do you all suggest?
Do i stick to Developer or Web consultant or Solutions Architect considering that I want to move into management side in few years time.
Thanks.

In my case I started as junior developer, then got senior job and started doing project management, ending on project's technical chief.
I would say you should go for the one that fullfills you more and where you have more fun. Anyways personal development is a continuos path, so it doesn't really matters where you start, as long as you continue improving, rol changing will come in its own.
At least this is my opinion
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Be a solutions architect - it sounds very clever.

Yeah...but you do have to wear silly little glasses and drive a Saab...

A fair point - and if you should move into project management your job description is closer to "proctologist" than "engineer".

You might have to wait a while for delivery: they went bust in 2012... 
[edit]Turns out they are making a come back (again) and selling the same cars that didn't sell last time, plus "an electric car" (so that should be ...um...different)[/edit]

Cool, which model? I, II or III?

If you enjoy developing webpages, keep doing what you're doing but at a higher level.
Being management can be good and satisfying if you have a solid team, but woe to those who get saddled with 1 or more slackers.
The other side of the coin don't go into management and bludgeon everyone with the old "I've got an MBA, so..."
Whichever you choose, make sure it is what you want to do, and good luck!
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Stick to what you are best at and forget the ego. (You can make a lot of money as a technical expert, far more than a manager can by the way).
