Copy and Paste Technician

Several jobs heavily rely on the mastering of the copy and paste function in several softwares.

For instance in web development often certain lines need to be copied and pasted and only marginal changes performed -- a good example is the title of a web page -- rarely somebody wants this to be inconsistent so often it will read "ACME Corp - About", "ACME Corp - Home", etc. -- so having "ACME Corp" in your clipboard might speed up things dramatically...

When writing studies, offers, or proposals I found the copy and paste functionality of word quite helpful, too -- often bigger companies create gigantic repositories of copy and paste sources and call that "Knowledge Management"

Senior Free Ticket Give Away Manager

Just won a free ticket to NFJS -- a courtesy of Altlassian (they once gave me free beer at ApacheCon). I am really excited and so I started thinking about the people giving away free tickets. This needs to be organized, budgeted, accounted for, and so on -- so it's probably a management position to give away free tickets and you probably need some marketing reps forging partnerships with all the conferences you wanna give free tickets to go to. Throw in some evangelists, a marketing strategist, somebody from strategic planing and the whole thing is getting big.

So, yea, it needs a manager to handle that:-)
