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 scan things and stamp things and put things away, and get some other things out to send to another place.

I support children to learn. Spend a lot of time in cold playgrounds and noisy dinner halls. Raise safeguarding concerns and deal with bullying and difficult behaviour. Take groups for targeted learning and do interventions in the afternoons. Make teachers' jobs easier.

I stick large needles in people’s backs and hands, fill them with drugs and/or gas them til they’re unconscious. Then I watch while other people slash them with sharp knives. Well, I used to - I’m retired now!

I poke sharp pointy things into people’s gums
And then tell them what they can do to stop me doing the same again six months later

I grow stuff, I write stuff, i manage projects, I go to conferences and give talks.

Tech support for smart home devices manufacturer. It basically involves a lot of telling people to turn their boilers off and on, and asking them what colour the lights on various devices are.

I babysit immensely intelligent people and explain to said immensely intelligent people that putting Sharpie on a whiteboard isn't a good idea.

I talk to young adults and try to encourage them to see the world from a critical perspective. I try to encourage them to be the best they can be. I answer huge numbers of emails and drink lots of coffee and have to go home if I actually want to get any work done.

Open my emails and read through stupid emails containing every persons life story...but missing the one thing i wrote to ask them for. Meaning yet again, i cannot complete their bloody financial assessment. I spent this morning rolling my eyes whilst muttering. Folk gave me a wide berth.
Or I finally manage to complete one, and the recipient argues about the amount.
I pay people once a week on a complex pay system where i can only dream of just clicking a few buttons.
After hours of ball ache, comes the thankless task of getting senior management to sign the fucker off before i can send to accounts.
Most of them cba, so they bat it around themselves arguing over who should do it.
Then the only person who can....says they don't know how to. Like I do !!! Why should i do their job for my pay when they can't even do it?
Yes...i know..and I'm looking

I try not to tread on the babies while keeping track of all the pens in the room.

I cuddles babies excessively. I admire dogs and also cuddle them. I enthuse over the tiniest achievements and often cry in the car.

I get people to tell me stuff and then write it down.

I have 2 jobs one is TTO & the second is agency/bank so I do nights weekends and school hols

1. I try and make sure teenagers leave school with a solid grasp of my subject and an ability to function in society

2. I draw blood and laugh a lot. I also play board games.

Job one:
English teacher for children with SEND

Job two:
Phlebotomist and Assistant practitioner on a dementia ward.

I drink tea and type as fast as I can while listening to audio books from my spare room.

I travel between loads of different places whilst answering emails and talking to people about what could be good for them.

LadyFlump I did say that I was very, very sorry for that

OP I haven’t read the thread yet but are you an audio producer? Awesome!

I wreck homes and then fix them.

Take calls from the people in the middle of a health care card application. Some just trying to get it for free crèche, some terminally ill! Some drug addicts, homeless. You never know who wil be next on the call

@backinthebox. What do you do?

I sit on my arse, question people, write reports that will be ignored by nearly everyone untilsomething big happens and suddenly im agebius

• A genius

1. Write emails telling people to do something
2. Sit in meetings and ask people whether they've done what they said they would do
3. Make pretty powerpoint slides that make us look like we've done something

(Chief of Staff)

Locked in a tiny room counting cash and cheques doing bank lodgements, drinking coffee and filing.

I go out and have nice chats with (mostly) men, althoug sometimes I meet women instead. We may drink coffee that is usually terrible, but occasionally quite nice.

When we have talked for a bit, they ask me to dress up and we go and look at their equipment. If that goes well I write something nice about them. If they have ignored my previous nice letters I might write them a nasty letter or even report them to the regulator, but fortunately that doesn't happen very often.

I also sometimes go and sit in a field for a few days and see how many invisible dangerous things there are.

(Health and safety consultant for a dangerous substance, but as there aren't very many of us who do this, and we all know each other, I won't say any more).
