I think my title still is "project manager", which seems to mean any "manager" who has to oversee something.
Fortunately I also get my own hands dirty sometimes (in SW dev and stuff), it keeps me motivated. I hated it earlier (years ago) when my expertise was really just "project management", ie. mastering Excel, and not having any idea what the developers are telling me in meetings and stuff. Now I at least have a hunch, and can even participate in the dialog.
I like my current job (tidy job indoors, you know Finnish winters, right?), but I wouldn't necessarily mind trying something completely different, even "physical work". I recently got a request to apply to some work in a local bank (company), but I let that offer pass. I guess it would have been more of the same, possibly with less pay. And I think the banks are downsizing now too, even though they are doing fine.
Since I don't normally work in the evenings or weekends, I can do lots of gaming then if I want. But still sometimes just watching TV feels more relaxing, so many times I don't start gaming until very late in the evening, after my gf goes to sleep. 10-11pm or so.
This last weekend I played quite a lot of Saints Row 3 though, as it was free-to-play on Steam. Burp, I think I got enough of it for now. Good thing the weather last weekend was horrible (around 10-15 Celsius degrees (50-59 Fahrenheit) with heavy rain), so I didn't even feel bad that we mostly stayed inside.
