Tell me where you work without telling me where you work...

[hooplawoopla]

Hoping to cheer myself up as had a crap week!

So I'll start...

This week so far I got called a fing c**t, had a chair thrown at me, had a book thrown at me and been spat at.

Any guesses what I do for a living?

I get paid to help children go on imaginative adventures, say positive things and relax. Love my job!

I spend a lot of time preparing for my hour with my clients, printing out sheets of paper, reading books, checking references,, finding useful objects around the my house to illustrate my point, find useful video clips, check again and again that my preparation is correct.

But if the client and I spend an hour happily chatting instead, it's a much better use of the hour.

That sounds like my dream job. Do you work for the foreign office or in academia?

Prison officer in a Cat A men's establishment.

Right first time!

Childrens yoga teacher or Story teller?

@FrangipaniBlue
Librarian

I speak to people about what they do/have done, how they do it, what process was used, if that process works as it should. I also check any evidence and write reports about it all.

The end product of the business is big bits of metal that people live in for up to 6 months at a time

I’ve spent my week showing people how to get a good deal with their mouth and how to pump someone’s chest. Also spent time talking to my pc and marking papers. Guess what I do….

FOI Co-ordinator/Manager

@alwaysmovingforwards I rarely laugh out loud, but loved your response

Auditor

I'm enjoying this thread

but I'm struggling to write my job in a way that isn't outing because my company is the only 1 that does what we do in the UK and I am the only person who does my job!

It would be fairly easy to find me on LinkedIn 😂

(No, I'm not Rishi!)

We often do adopt one onto a ewe with a single it depends if there's one lambing at the same time but always end up with a pen of 'pet' lambs too.
It's always a bit more chaotic irl than on lambing live!
Once managed to successfully adopt a kid goat onto a ewe.

Hitlers Secret Weapons on the History channel?

I get asked to tie shoelaces at least twice a day, I've been called "mam" many times over the years to the embarrassment & hilarity of the room, on particular days 30 minutes can seem like a lifetime, especially in this Baltic weather

as an aside I wish there was a "laughter" option without having to quote the response because some of these are hilarious

University registry.

Previous role - more tricky. Passport office?! Benefits office?

About mine. Everyone here is much more highly qualified than me, but only a few people get paid anything by this establishment. Apart from myself, those people tend to be in their 20s.

I guessed chemo! But not factory, I thought you might work in a hospital pharmacy preparing the patients' doses.

I'll come a feed the pet lambs! (from a bottle obviously!) - what a lovely (hard I know) life to have.

I advise people on the best way to get themselves into an enormous amount of debt.

Mortgage Broker?

I help people get more money, but it sometimes takes an inordinately long time for them to actually see any of it.

Today, one of those people got a 5-figure that they should have received in 4-weekly instalments starting around 2 years ago.

Yes!
