Nathan,

  CIJ (Chief Internet Janitor) is kinda catchy ;) and this best
describe my line of work. Keeping the company's Internet clean.. or
when a mess is done already.

But at the end of the day regardless of one's fancy title. there is
still the work ... if you love it stay with it.

There are no kings around here so titles most of the time are worthless.

By asking what title may impress others is sort of a -1 to start.

It isn't about impression.

I'd put 'janitor' on my business card for all I really care.

I'm pretty sure Jonny Martin was Chief Internet Janitor in his previous role.

He cleaned the tubes so the sewage could flow.
