Excellent. I wonder, though -- is there a Jnr. Armageddon Avoidance
Engineer? Perhaps an Armageddon Avoidance Team Leader? I am curious
as to the structure of the Amraggedon Avoidance department.

(Boringly, I imagine they have to put `Senior' in front of people's
titles if they're at a certain paygrade, have a certain number of
reports, or dependent on their level of experience, etc.)

Well, normally it would be better to be Jr out of things like that, as
then you don't have to take the flack if things go wrong. However, in
this case, you wouldn't have to if you were the senior either!

Good point. Unlike being a banker, if you screw up that job you don't
get to retire on a pension of half a million a year.
