I had to laugh when I read this. People work so hard completing a doctorate
degree that the use of the title means a lot. I worked in a laboratory where
many of the employees had doctorates and in some groups they all were at
that education level. The term "doctor" was only used in external
correspondence or activities. Within the facility, people just did their
jobs and titles didn't mean squat. New employees, especially those with
fresh doctorates, were in for some serious razzing if they wanted to be
called "doctor".

He he, well doing a PhD in astronomy was definitely a help in getting to
some great dark skies, if not in guaranteeing good photos once I was
there! I have indeed defended and everything, been Dr Wesson for a good
few weeks now. Not bored of using the title yet, in fact I'm still
using it at almost every available opportunity. I may continue for some
time.
