I'm posting this again because it got lost in the melee, and I kinda liked it (in response to ridiculous meme, that I don't generally do, honest, about jobs I've had).

Jobs I've had: writing a (bad) VBA front-end for a large series/family of linked spreadsheets that ran a huge media company. I was regarded by the board as some kind of wunderkind - 'that girl who could deliver geekery, speak tech, communicate like a regular person and understand the business.' I was regarded by my coworkers as 'that spreadsheet nazi, who demanded 100% compliance with her lousy front-end'. Not to be confused with front-bottom. In the end, I was replaced by an ERP. More expensive, and, I heard only last week, still doesn't work as well.
