Forget the job titles what is it you actually do?

I sit on my bottom for 10hrs looking very closely at things whilst listening to talking books and drinking tea 😁

Trying to get lots of people to listen to me, answering 60 million questions a day, never anything to do with what I'm talking about and asking questions of my own like, "Have you washed your hands?"

bullyingadvice2017 · 26/11/2018 09:43

A lot of sitting about amusing myself, watching TV, play on phone, read books. Occasionally make a bet of some light housework. Pet care and errands. Lots of time doing not a lot. Just have to "be there"
(I realise this is a real cushy number and I love it!)

Facilitating the birth of new babies and of new parents. And a never-ending MOUNTAIN of paperwork.

SilverbytheSea · 26/11/2018 10:02

Hammer, saw and melt bits of metal into pretty things to sell in galleries. That and generally being covered in some form of toddler mess.

Help people dissect parts of other people. Then clean it all away.

Sit at my computer writing emails, surrounded by piles of paper. That's one job I do for free. The other jobs are taxi driver, housekeeper, tutor, dog walker, chief cook and bottle washer, PA. Sometimes I walk around halls watching people and checking people are doing what they should be doing - and then carefully check paperwork. That is a paid thing!

General dogsbody who organises everything and everyone.

Try to make sure a national company doesn't make an idiot of its self.

Undercoverbanana · 26/11/2018 10:27

I enable people to obtain food from a retail establishment.

Normally trying to convince teenagers Shakespeare is important and so are capital letters.
For the last few months- juggling a baby while shushing in her ear

pollyhampton · 26/11/2018 10:35

I write big long reports on a specialist subject for the people who run our country. They then pretend they have written this and make decisions on stuff.

IJustLostTheGame · 26/11/2018 10:36

I wash dancers pants.

LeslieYep · 26/11/2018 10:38

I sit and look at the content of people's computers for not very nice things.

citiesofbismuth · 26/11/2018 11:21

I organise and oversee people's daily living needs, administer lots of medication and identify infections at the drop of a hat. I live on tea and biscuits and never wee.

Care Home nurse 😁

MissSueFlay · 26/11/2018 11:32

I try to convince other businesses that we know what we're talking about and that they should use our services rather than our competitors.

Didyeeaye · 26/11/2018 11:34

I stalk petulant teenagers then plead with services to help them lol

UnnecessaryFennel · 26/11/2018 11:40

Teach people to be able to facilitate the birth of new babies and new parents. And, admin. LOTS of admin.

backinthebox · 26/11/2018 11:47

I sit in a locked bullet proof box looking out the window and hoping nothing goes wrong because if it does I will have to fix it. I love it when it's boring - boring is good, nothing is going wrong!

MagicKeysToAsda · 26/11/2018 11:49

Try and herd a load of 20-something geniuses into working well together and treating the office more like a place of work than the back row of the coach on a school trip. If they've been good, I make sure they get paid each month as well Wink Grin
