Well kind of.
I've been managing my own projects for about a year now. Meaning that the project manager (my boss, man who's job will be mine in a few years) has little to nothing to do with my work anymore.
Well for a long time I've been head of drafting and had a title to reflect that. "Cheif Draftsman" (we travel in tribes). Today I was writing a letter and was informed by my boss to refer to myself as the "Assistant Project Manager"
I laughed and said "does this mean I've been promoted?"
he said "yeah, I guess, what were you before, Chief draftsman"
"Yeah"
"Well, you're the Asst. Project Manager now, why didn't you think you were that anyway"
"Well, I didn't want to start calling myself something, and step on any toes"
Now I work for a small company, so this isn't a promotion that means a raise, car, and the like. But it means that they feel I'm doing enough (and well enough) to "officially" be the man to answer to.
