The "Whats your job?" thread.

Its always interesting to know what people do.

I am the "Operations Co-ordinator" I schedule the technicians to go out and fix phone systems, manage the inventory, order parts and so on.

We used to cover Brisbane city and a bit more area, and there was 3 other franchises. In the picture we are the pink:

From the city to the edge of our territory was 86.4 km – about 1 hour 25 mins.

Then the company was sold and now there are less franchises and we are dealerships now.

You should be able to see the red lines marking where the old territory ended. We are the yellow, the territory from the City to our edge is now 1,754 km, 22 hours 10 mins straight driving at the speed limit.

Fun fun.

edit: that yellow doesnt show all of it either, take the left side of them map and colour it yellow. Thats what we cover. Uggh, we have 4 techs....

if were not employed (yet) can we talk about the field we plan to go into?

I'm a financial and special assets coordinator. My job is to operate a cash register and empty the garbage cans. In other words I sell black gold and collect colourful gold.
Our area extends about 100m in one direction and 40 or so in the other but that's just guessing.
I'm doing a vital job in one of the top ten companies in the world.

Right now I'm helping a local heating and cooling guy with his quickbook records.

During the school year I work at a china wok.

I'm a... hmmm... going to have to give this one some thought. :stupido2:

Trust fund hippy?

I soak up financial aid to attend classes.

Yup. That's about it. :book:

Accountant in training... hoping for an auditor position next spring.

I also work in an employment office at school.

University student, but I have a part-time job as a stock & delivery boy at a local drug store. Cute, eh? :yes:

Full time University student during the week, but on the weekends I am a customer service guy at a discount Department Store (Kmart Australia). I walk around the store all weekend keeping shelves tidy and helping customers, as well as answering phone calls. I walk a lot there... 17 kilometres over the course of a day two weeks ago and that wasn't particularly busy.

This job has convinced me that the Human species on the whole will not have a glorious future ahead of it. For example the other day a woman called a solicitor simply because I would not sell her a display model of a desk (The store guidelines we are given say that we shouldn't). I called my manager, who told me to sell it anyway... as I was helping to take it off the display it was on it broke...

I work for the oil company

I am a Senior Systems Consultant and work mainly with the enterprise system - SAP

https://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y2...ka/SAPLogo.gif

My job is more or less jumping from project to project as an "expert on SAP". Right now I am working in a project to force “help” our contracted drilling operators on the xHydro platforms to use SAP in the area of preventive maintenance.
This is a demand that our friendly Petroleum Directorate has given us. They say: Since you own the platforms, the assets need to be in your system, not in your contractor’s. The Assets we are talking about is the drilling environment with its equipment on the platforms. Everything else is already in our system.
I am currently working in teams of three people, one “SAP expert” (me), a Technician and an Electrician from each platform. We go through all the equipment drawings and consequence classifies every piece of equipment which needs maintenance. We then put them into SAP and make FV programs (Preventive maintenance programs) for them.

Right now my team is working with Brage:

I have already done Oseberg C.:

We left the big one for last, the monstrous Oseberg Field center (Oseberg B):

https://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y2...senter_468.jpg

other teams are doing Grane, Oseberg E, Oseberg S, Njord A and Kvitebjørn.

Freelance... All year round. Build computers for people and lots of tech support.

I make like no money and love my work. :D

Although I don't have a job right now, I've always wanted to be either a writer some kind (playwright, script writer, novelist etc.) or a lawyer/solicitor (criminal law, not family law or anything like that, I'm not dealing with those annoying family disputes).

I moderate several online fora on a website about the totalwar series. I make obscene amounts of money.
And I sell camelmilk.

Employee.
Service Technician.

Multi talented cable monkey/wretch. Commenly found skulking around in the darkened plant rooms and riser cupboards of customers building, stringing comms cables from PABX Room MDF's/cabinets to tenants Comms/Server/Computer Room.

ie. One of the guys I schedule. :grin2:

We call 'em Customer Service Engineers. Makes it fancy. But you can be anything in that job (I did it for a few months before the company was sold etc). You could be a sparky, a cabler, an IT guy, a plumber...anything.

:study:

Currently I'm finishing my PhD thesis on models of continuity in the chronicles of medieval monastic orders. From january on I'll be working for a research project on transmission contexts of sermons of Meister Eckhart, probably for the next three years.

I guess that makes me a scholar.

I guess you'll be going to the university later on the Army's expenses, right? It's up to you then, once you hold a good, preferably excellent, Master in History a PhD is just one book away. There are lots of scholarships around you could apply for. But be warned, History is a very competitive field of work as there aren't many jobs around. But it's rewarding.

Oh, yes, I'm also a student and the above is just a side-job that cannot pay for everything.
Not yet anyway.

I am someone who hopes never to meet Kurando at work. :sweatdrop:

Disorganized, frantic corporations deliver their reams of notes to my email inbox, and I convert their ramblings into sleek 5-minute scripts for the web or video. Apparently I'm very good at it, 'cause I keep getting more clients. Sometimes they ask me to write speeches for their executives.

I've also written non-fiction books (nothing I want to advertise here, though), and articles for magazines. Never seriously pursued fiction, but I'll let the Orgahs know if I do.

Just a day or two ago I whipped up a temp website for my wife's new business, a protein/meal/health bar that tastes a lot better than anything else out there. (Trust me, if mankind goes to Mars, we're going to want these things in the life support module.) We're almost ready to go live with this project, just a few more kinks to work out — nothing crazy, just stuff like which cc processor to use, how we're going to collect in-state sales tax, etc.
