Assistant

Some of you may know I am a fan of The Office.

In the show, there's a character - Dwight Schrute whose title is Assistant to the Regional Manager. He's quite pompous so when he introduces himself, he'll say he's the Assistant Regional Manager instead. His colleague - Jim Halpert - will always correct him and put him in his place.

A somewhat situation happened to me in one of my China trips.

One of the Chinese buggers introduced me as Assistant to the Vice President but im actually Assistant Vice President. :( I thought he made a mistake the first time he said it until he started calling me 林助理. :(
