... when you hover over my icon it says 'professional'.
It is of course highly accurate, I am always entirely professional in every way. Anyone who knows me can vouch for that! 
But what did I do to get it recognised by this esteemed site?

Filled out your "Professional Profile" in "My Settings" - that upgrades you from "pleb" to "pro"

Who knew that it was so easy to be a 'professional'?

In some inner city neighborhoods, all you need to do to become a professional is to where fishnets, spiked heels, and a very very short skirt. (Why does my mind always return to the gutter*?)

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Good point. Fortunately, I've learned to embrace the vision(s).
Or, as I posted on my webpage: SMUT - the stuff that dreams are made of.

I haven't seen you here in a long time, but I'm glad to see you back as an upgraded, new and improved, "professional" member. I tell all my friends that I knew her when she was just a "member." It makes a fellow proud...

Are you saying those are fashionable? Damn. What did I do to deserve that?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Well...I tried to interest him in electricity, but he just fixated on gears. At least the hints I dropped to young Joe Jaquard had some effect.

Hi All,
Question for the hive mind...a meeting for the project I am involved with is on, I think. Walking across the car park I saw most of the people in it.
I haven't been able to find an email invite or Hipchat mention I have the felling that it might be above my pay grade. So I won't barge in late... thoughts please...
Yup, above my pay grade, I have been invited to the progress meeting next week.

If you weren't invited - don't go. If anyone asks you were you were, tell them that you weren't invited.
It could be an oversight - you haven't been added to all the relevant mailing lists; I wouldn't go paranoid quite yet...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

If you haven't had an invite and it's going on, you will only bring attention to yourself if you do enter late: either they will realize you should have been there from the start, or they'll be all "what is he doing here?"
It's early days with the company - I'd get on with what I was working on yesterday and if anyone comments, just tell the truth: you weren't told it was going on.
