I was recently asked to peruse a list of job titles various users of Optician's website had input when registering. I took delivery of the list thinking that few few people may have strayed from the usual Optometrist, Dispensing Optician, CLO, OMP etc. Throw in a few non-optical folk, account for spelling mistakes and perhaps there might be a list of 30 or even 50 titles to sort. Go on have a guess........1,235 was the total. As well as the usual spelling mistakes, upper or lowercase, lists of qualifications. there are also a few jokers and those who take filling in web forms less than seriously. Here are a few highlights. My persoanl favourite is Dogs boddy ( yes two ds) Domestic scientist is another. There is the haughty entrepreneur and Dr Optometrist, the confused, engineering and the surreal freida, fre, ghg, ibanez, kigiugig and the completely ga ga OFHIHF JFIJASDL. Others include opiometrist, miss, sale man, LAB, ship's operator, shoptician and stromatology. Among those who clearly knew what they were doing are. Queen of the House, teller of bad jokes and worker. I like the minimalist x. Perhaps this was an attempt at the first cyberkiss.
