To ask for Things you do in work/daily that are normal for you but others might be surprised at?

[clipcloptrop]

Out of boredom/interest...

I realised that in work I change my shoes AT LEAST 10 times per day.

What do you do as a part of your day/job that others might find odd or wouldn't realise?

@LindaEllen

I get to read novels by famous (and plenty of non famous!) authors before anyone else 😄

Agent or editor?

I see what you're all searching for online.

@Tunnocksmallow

I loose count of the amount of paint lids I open and close. I find it exciting to watch paint dry.

Quality control in a paint manufacturers

I provide monthly reports on how many lots of human waste we have cleared in a specific area of the city I work in.

I send thousands of emails and text messages a day.

I often wear a head torch and hold on to things with my teeth

I go through people's drawers, their kitchen cupboards, and the contents of their garages.

Dh who works in the same department as me was surprised the 1st time he heard me on the phone to a client using what he called "My posh voice"

Yes have endless conversations about people who aren’t real and situations they are in that aren’t real.
And we all sit there and discuss it and no one ever says - we all know this person is just made up right?

I browse Rightmove and other property websites.

Just marking my place to read later!

Take and receive around 200 phone calls per day

@Theredjellybean

I talk to government ministers... They sometimes do what I say... I am not a civil servant

Ha, I’d love it if you’re the person I think you are. I don’t think a dominatrix but I wouldn’t be 100% sure. Do you try and get them to give up the pies?

I spend other people’s money on Ridiculously priced things. And once a year have to go to banks and do a safe deposit box check. This usually involves an inventory of jewellary. which I sometimes try on

I make children cry, then if try and change the subject I force them back to the original subject, and then I take money off their parents and they come back to me weekly, sometimes more often.

@JackieWeaver4PrimeMinister I think we do the same job 😂

I used to visit brothels at least 3- 4 times a week, chat to the workers and screen them for blood born viruses - loved it, great fun and lovely women.

@LawnFever yep! 🚑

I wash drills, chisels, mallets, knives, screws, visors and loads of things that I have no idea what they are.

I then pack them up and sterilise them.

I also change my shoes, wash my hands a trillion times a day.

I have been known to stick my customers toes up my nose, more than you would think is normal. I’m a foot health practitioner though and sometimes a fungal infection can only be diagnosed through a very very faint smell that most people would miss!

@SkiingIsHeaven

I use trigonometry.

So you should listen in school because some people actually use it in real life.

Please tell me what you do. I am a maths teacher and the more examples I have, the better!

Very intriguing /refreshing Post thread op.

Very Good Thread Post idea.😕

I used to report nationally on the death rate of over 65s and "justify" an unexpected increase/decrease with reference to things like the weather, number of kids or proximity to Christmas!

You obviously work in a hospital and autoclave theatre equipment, but I don't know exactly what to call your job.

@Fuckingcrustybread
I wish it was that interesting!

No, I work on a paint mixing desk in a diy store.
I love it! Get all excited when I colour match something, have to dry a sample and it is spot on.

It may not be rocket science, but I find it fascinating.
