What exactly is it that you do at Work ?

I only work during the summer for my uncle on the farm. There, I move haybails, run errands, and, the most boring thing in the world, spraying mesquite trees with a chemical that kills them via a 4-wheeler and spray rig. So much fun, but hey, I bought my computer with the cash. Not sure if this thread was directed toward this kind of stuff, but o well
 
HA!


I'm the ticket boy at a movie theather! OH YEA!
 
Well I am a corporate real estate attorney/consultant. I help companies open new factories throughout the U.S, by finding them land and buildings then I negotiate their sale or lease, and state and local incentives (tax breaks, free land, etc.). I am also the companies default IT person because I am the only person who seems to know how to work a computer.
 
I am an attorney. My primary practice area is criminal law. I am also a Law Guardian, meaning I represent children in Family Court. It's not nearly as exciting as many people think. I spend most of my day researching and writing documents that nobody will ever read.
 
My official title is Junior Network Administrator (i know, i know, i gotta get rid of the junior...).

What that basically translates into is that people in my organization call me when they "can't get in the computer."
 
My job title is Quality Control Automation for Allstate. Which translates to, I develop testing tools for the Quality Control Analysts to test the newest home grown applications. With my Computer Science degree, I've done a variety of IT, software engineering, product testing here at Allstate. Actually me, Sneaky, and Jazper know each other. One correction tho sneaky, no matter what we do, we sell insurance to some degree or another. Much easier way to explain in one phrase when people ask me. What do you do? "I sell insurance." bwaahhaahahahahaha
 
Internship of '98!!!
W00t
:D

I just try and stray from the whole insurance thing when defining what I do...I usually spew something like "computers, blah blah etc. yada".

If the person is all nuts about computers and does something similar and starts talking about it with me, I usually say something like, "So yeah, how 'bout them Bears..."

I just prefer not to talk about work, when I could talk about something else.

I've been unlucky enough to have spent a good chunk of my work life around insurance companies (doing assorted computer and office monkey work). :cry: The more I learn about them, the more I hate those bastards with a stabby passion. :evil:
 
I sold insurance for AFLAC for about 4 months once...then I wen to work for municipal government :? not sure which is worse.
 
Well, when I was in highschool I worked during the summer as a lifeguard,
minimum wage and I had to put up with bratty little kids, never really had to save anybody though, glad I didnt have to.

Now that I'm in college I work in the electronics department in our local Wal-Mart, not exactly where I'd like to be but I get good hours and the work is mostly easy, it puts gas in the car and food in my stomach.

I'm wanting to either start substittute teaching or become a teachers aid, not entirly sure where thats gonna go, havent even applied yet, lol. If I do get the job I'll ride it through the rest of college.

I'm also a part time Galka RDM. :P

When I was still In high school I was a counciler at a local after school camp/day care for grades K-5th, and then latter I worked with 6th-8th graders. Basicaly I sat around and made sure kids did not kill eachother. Overall it was a pretty cool job, good hours (2:30-6 every weekday) and the pay was what I would expect for doing next to nothing. So I sat around for 3 hours every day and teased 4th and 5th graders.
 
I'm currently working as a Biomedical Equipment Technician for 3 hospitals in my local area. I service and maintain medical and some radiology equipment. I do repairs, Preventative Maintenance (PM's), scheduling of said PM's, paperwork, some light IT and Networking.

I also still attend college to finish my degree in EET 1 and a half years left.

I'll either stay in the field or move on to something else don't know right now.
 
Well my Title is IT technitian and server maintenance. Well I am the only one in the IT department anyway...

I deal with solving problems the users have with windows (i know I know), Database program, and other crap like internet configuration, email account organiser, and other IT things.

I also do the maintenance of my office's main server, check for better performance and possible improvement for our service. Also I am a Virus buster -_-; For some reason how much firewall I put, somehow someone goes into websites they don't belong... and then the next day states "I HAVE A VIRUS"

Extra: what sort of phone calls I get at work
- HIGH: My printer is not working!
- HIGH: My email is not working!
- HIGH: The program is crashing!
- HIGH: Internet is not working!

Answers:
- Printer not working. I go there and more than half of the time... the plug was not properly fit into the socket... or the printer was not on -_-;
- Email not working. We limited incomming and outcomming messages to 5meg max... and user wants to send a 100meg video to a friend -_-;
- Program is crashing. Well having 10 programs opened at the same time has its consequences you know...
- Internet not working. I SAID NO PORN IN HERE! AND WHAT I FIND IN THE WEB ADRESS!? YEP PORN SITE. jeeez

I am more of a problem solver of "so and so for dummies" than anything...
