A few days ago, a very reputable firm sent a letter to me and addressed it to:
Dr. Joseph A. Cerro
Director of Genomics and Bioinformatics Opera
Obviously, Opera is a truncation of Operations, but, come to think of it, Opera Director really is a pretty good description of what I do. I am running out of business cards...
Sometimes these "titles" stay with you. Back when I was at Columbia University's medical campus on Manhattan's West 168th Street, I received a letter (again from a reputable source) addressed to:
Joe Cerro
Nr of West 168th Street
Nearly fifteen years later, a good friend of mine still calls me "The Nr."
The Nr of West 168th Street does have a bit of a noble, royal sound, doesn't it?
