You’re job in a nutshell....

[MaidenMotherCrone]

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 😁

I tell people they can't do stuff, and when I occasionally say they can, I write oodles of paperwork and make them read it all. Said paperwork is then filed and never looked at again.

@backinthebox what is your job?

Try to ensure that people’s pets have access to modern medicines that are safe and efficacious.

Airline pilot.

I teach people how to talk to each other and correct their grammar an awful lot.

According to friends and random blokes in the pub who've watched a few too many documentaries on Dave though, I just push a button and sit back.

I hand instruments to surgeons.

Between faffing around with and organising actors and luvvies, I make and sell a large variety of arty shit.

I offer advice and suggestions on how best to optimise the treatment of shit

Unfuck people's editing errors.

I answer pointless questions, sit in pointless meetings and generally try not to lose the will to live.

Allegedly I'm making my organisation a less shit place to work.

I type numbers into a system and tell people to do things they already know they need to do

I am a peripatetic modern languages teacher. I spend my week travelling between different schools (and an adult class in my own home) teaching 3 different languages to people from age 3 to age 76!

Smear cold gel onto people, then stare at a screen of gray shapes whilst spreading said gel about.
Try to work out WTF is going on with them, then work out a way to communicate this to Drs, and type it up.

I drive to different schools and inject children.

It varies a lot, but surprisingly often it consists of watching an episode of Midsomer Murders and then staying awake all night by shoving biscuits in my mouth.

Limit the damage my boss does and hopefully stop the entire department looking like dicks.

I read, write and calculate :). Wait for colleagues to answer emails.

Listen to young people cry and try to help them manage physical and emotional pain. Occasionally someone bleeds or vomits.

I babysit bad people.

And I deal with the aftermath after people like Bombaybunty have finished doing what they do.

I do lots of calculations, 3D FE models, endless team discussions and engineering judgement calls to help in the design of complex structures.

I ask people for money.

Attend pointless meetings, write endless emails and reports that no one reads and try not to be cynical at all the genius ideas being waffled around about how we cannimptive our sales

I stand up all day, drinking coffee, talking to people, and doing lots of counselling. And cutting hair 😝
