A nominal promotion

At a staff meeting today, it was announced that since the position title of ''Research Assistant'' was misleading and under-valuing our contributions -- since we don't just ''assist'' -- we actually have a fair amont of initiative and control -- our new job title will be ''Research Officer.''

Current ''Research Officers'' will be upgraded to ''Senior Research Officers.''

No extra money, though.

Still, it'll look better on our business cards, and e-mail signature lines. :)
