What started me down this path? Well, while reading the newspaper, I ran across an article about a \u2018C<\/strong>ertified C<\/strong>hild P<\/strong>assenger Safety Technician<\/em>\u2019: CPS<\/strong><\/em>. Yes. There is such a thing. AND you can get certified to be one in all 50 states. It is a national certification program. Not sure what the pay scale is for a title like this. I believe it is an add on title. If you have the certification and you are a nurse, this would be useful at a hospital as the families are discharged with a\u00a0 new baby. No way can this be a full time job.<\/p>\n

The responsibilities of a\u00a0 CPS are as follows;\u00a0 education as to the proper installation of car seats. Proper technique to secure the child in the seat. The technician can also assist the parent\/caregiver with decisions if the seat needs to be replaced. If the seat is no longer usable, instructions are given how to properly dispose of the seat to prevent future use.<\/p>\n

Who Knew????<\/p>\n

After researching the CPS title, I thought about other titles and what duties or expectations they might entail.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I hold the title of\u00a0 SHE<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Yup, you read that right. S<\/strong>idetracked H<\/strong>ome E<\/strong>xecutive<\/em>. That\u2019s me! SHE<\/strong> does it all with little time left over for those pesky little household chores. That\u2019s why I eventually had someone helping me clean my house. I like the title and it doesn\u2019t need to only apply to housecleaning. The Home Executive handles the laundry, cooking, shopping, child care etc. It is a BIG job and one can be easily distracted with all that is involved in family and home life.<\/p>\n

CCO<\/strong>: C<\/strong>hief C<\/strong>elebrations O<\/strong>fficer<\/em>. What fun. Decorations, food selection, scheduling, lots to do when one holds this title. Some of the duties of this title include party and event planning for the office\/home. A CCO<\/strong> could be enjoyable and, if you are the controlling sort, look at all that one is overseeing. POWER.<\/p>\n

CA<\/strong>: C<\/strong>ommunications A<\/strong>mbassador<\/em>. Sounds very important.In charge of Communication and being an Ambassador, a tactful emissary or messenger. Booster of morale and provider of accurate, up to date information. Social Media specialist. Duties entail keeping Facebook, Twitter and Linked in current. Overseeing the Newsletter and Calendar of Events.<\/p>\n

CC<\/strong>: C<\/strong>ulture Champion<\/em>. This title is mostly found in the Human Resource department. We could all benefit with one in our personal lives. The duties include: ensuring sustenance of values and positive environment is achieved. Can you imagine your own CC<\/strong> at the ready to remind you about your \u2018mission statement\u2019, values and being positive?<\/p>\n

EA: E<\/strong>nrichment A<\/strong>dvocate<\/em>. I definitely want to meet and consult with one of these. Who knows what safety hazards I might have been overlooked? Enrichment of any kind is always appreciated. Not sure if this title has the power to enrich one\u2019s paycheck though. Duties are to ensure benefits, training, safety and improving conditions and perks.<\/p>\n

FM<\/strong>: F<\/strong>acilities M<\/strong>anager<\/em> or ME<\/strong>: M<\/strong>aintenance E<\/strong>ngineer<\/em>. This fun job is really Janitor with a fancy title. Duties include cleaning the bathrooms, mopping\/sweeping floors, emptying trash and maintaining the general cleanliness of the office or facility. In addition, Keep the lunch area clean and often time make the coffee and cleaning up after others. Not a fun job in my opinion. But it does sound fancy.<\/p>\n

AA<\/strong>: A<\/strong>dministrative A<\/strong>ssistant<\/em> or Administrative A<\/strong>ssociate<\/em>. Basically a secretary. Does all the normal office stuff but has a nicer (?) ring to it than the old term, secretary.<\/p>\n

Not sure if any of these exist but they sound like fun.<\/p>\n

AE<\/strong>: A<\/strong>dventure E<\/strong>scort<\/em>. An Adventure escort is along to guide, safeguard and ensure a good time when stepping out of your comfort zone. They have a \u2018been there, done that\u2019 attitude as well as wanting to enjoy the journey.<\/p>\n

FC<\/strong>: F<\/strong>un C<\/strong>oach<\/em>. A Fun Coach comes up with things to do, places to go to enrich the lives of others. They are fun to be around and bring joy and laughter with them. Hard to be glum when a FC<\/strong> is around.<\/p>\n

After looking over all of these various titles, I don\u2019t know which one would be more fun to have. I might just stick with SHE<\/strong><\/em> as that is what I do the most as of late.<\/p>\n

Have fun, pick one of these titles or make one up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
