case you haven't:

What's Your Business Sign?
1) MARKETING
You are ambitious yet stupid. You chose a marketing degree to
avoid having to study in college, concentrating instead on drinking
and socializing which is pretty much what your job responsibilities
are now. Least compatible with Sales.
2) SALES
Laziest of all signs, often referred to as "marketing without a degree.
"You are also self centered and paranoid. Unless someone calls you
and begs you to take their money, you like to avoid contact with
customers so you can "concentrate on the big picture." You seek
admiration for your golf game throughout your life.
3) TECHNOLOGY
Unable to control anything in your personal life, you are instead
content to completely control everything that happens at your
workplace.Often even YOU don't understand what you are saying
but who the heck can tell. It is written that Geeks shall inherit the
Earth.
4) ENGINEERING
One of only two signs that actually studied in school. It is said that
ninety percent of all Personal Ads are placed by engineers. You can
be happy with yourself; your office is full of all the latest "ergo
dynamic" gadgets. However, we all know what is really causing your
"carpal tunnel syndrome."
5) ACCOUNTING
The only other sign that studied in school. You are mostly immune
from office politics. You are the most feared person in the organization;
combined with your extreme organizational traits, the majority of
rumors concerning you say that you are completely insane.
6) HUMAN RESOURCES
Ironically, given your access to confidential information, you tend to
be the biggest gossip within the organization. Possibly the only other
person that does less work than marketing, you are unable to return
any calls today because you have to get a haircut, have lunch AND
then mail a letter.
7) MANAGEMENT/MIDDLE MANAGEMENT
Catty, cut-throat, yet completely spineless, you are destined to remain
at your current job for the rest of your life. Unable to make a single
decision you tend to measure your worth by the number of meetings you
can schedule for yourself. Best suited to marry other "Middle Managers"
as everyone in you social circle is a "Middle Manager."
8) SENIOR MANAGEMENT
See above - Same sign, different title)
9) CUSTOMER SERVICE
Bright, cheery, positive, you are a fifty-cent cab ride from taking your
own life. As children very few of you asked your parents for a little
cubicle for your room and a headset so you could pretend to play
"Customer Service." Continually passed over for promotions, your best
bet is to sleep with your manager.
10) CONSULTANT
Lacking any specific knowledge, you use acronyms to avoid revealing
your utter lack of experience. You have convinced yourself that your
"skills" are in demand and that you could get a higher paying job with
any other organization in a heartbeat. You will spend an eternity
contemplating these career opportunities without ever taking direct
action.
11) RECRUITER, "HEADHUNTER"
As a "person" that profits from the success of others, you are disdained
by most people who actually work for a living. Paid on commission and
susceptible to alcoholism, your ulcers and frequent heart attacks
correspond directly with fluctuations in the stock market.
12) PARTNER, PRESIDENT, CEO
You are brilliant or lucky. Your inability to figure out complex systems
such as the fax machine suggest the latter.
