What are you doing?

[HurricaneHeather]

I am bored at work.

So....what do YOU do for a living? And I want people to get creative here....I don't want to hear your damn job title or what company you work for. What do you do all day? ;)

I tell managers at a government agency what to do all day and I'm not their boss. If they don't listen to me, their employees don't get paid. :D

[azoomm]

I don't DO anything. :lol:

Wait, I'm more busy now than I ever was when I had a "real" job. I don't know that I really want to do a day-to-day though. I might realize how truly busy I am....

[Trip]

I do paperwork, all day.....

someone get me out of cube hell!!!

[Ninjakel]

I go to school. and try to look educated

[HurricaneHeather]

I don't DO anything. :lol:

No, you DO everything. :lol:

[Rsv1000R]

I shuffle data from one db to another most days.

[the chi]

I write letters, memos, jump on people for violating the rules, serve as the complaint department...climb roofs, crawl into awning shafts, deal with groundskeeping...the list goes on, and on, and on...

[marko138]

I shoot pictures and sound of accidents, politicians, everyday people with a video camera. Then I edit it and put it on the news every day.

[VatorMan]

Keep the site safe by making sure the alarm systems work. Write work orders,plan downloads,watch and modify contracts, make sure we hit our goals and plan for 5 years in the future.

Since the Mayan calendar says we are gonna die at the end of 2012-I've been slacking on the last one.

[Apoc]

I make silver. Its a by product of the lead we produce, that needs to be seperated from copper, zinc, lead, and tellerium. The final product is about 99.2-99.5% pure, and is then sent to another refinery who then takes out the little bit of gold and copper thats left.

We make about 30 million dollars worth of silver a month. Casted in what we call anodes.

From start to finish, seperating it from our main product (lead), to the time its sitting in casted bars on Pallets, is a very long and dangerous process.

[Tmall]

I sit down in a class learning things I already know from work experience. Then I don't study and ace the tests in 15 minutes.

Occasionally, get to tear a piece of equipment apart and get graded on it. But again.. I have tons of hands on experience, so I zip through it in half the time and get full marks..

That and I play cards or surf the net when the others are studying or doing homework.

[the chi]

*update* Seriously considering telling these people what they can do with my job...

[KSGregman]

I know everything there is to know about approximately $2B worth of inventory for a T1 aerospace supplier to Boeing....I rack and stack this data about every way possible....and then give summaries to the CFO and COO. :idk:

[Archren]

I manage specific aspects of personnel actions (everything from evaluation reports to transfer orders) for a Brigade (about 3000 Soldiers, including the ones who are deployed). That's my job during the week..

When I deploy, though, I'll be managing convoys, convoy clearances, main and alternate supply routes (MSRs/ASRs), and coordinating supply and cargo moves for the drawdown of forces.

[Rider]

I develop software requirements for Flight Management Computers. I also test the software when the feature is coded by the software engineer, meaning I spend a lot of time in the flight simulator. I also had a PC based flight sim on my desktop so I fly a lot during the day.

[G-Rex]

I spend my day designing roads, water and sewer infrastructure, fielding call from pissed off property owners about why a contractor didn't fix their driveway right, writing grant applications, cost estimates, Engineering Reports, whatever needs to be done to get things done for our clients.

Don't forget being a secretary (filing, taking messages since the bossman doesn't believe in voicemail) and watching your co-worker fall asleep at his desk. :lol:

[Method]

I manage large scale software implementations for our global clients. Mostly it breaks down to the usual PM type stuff - managing resources, project scope, timelines, best practices, etc.

[derf]

I usually start my day off by spending the first hour talking to the folks that work for me. Then I spend about 15 minutes walking to get some coffee and to the bathroom. Usually I'll stop at someones office to say hi for another 15 minutes. Then I spend 30 minutes or so flipping through proffessional publications that come every day. Then I log into my computer and look through a joint email account that I manage for 5 other people. I rarely ever answer anything only if the question is elevated to me, I just make sure that everyone else is doing their part. I do that and look at cnn.com, foxnews.com and io9.com until lunch. Then after Lunch I open my own email, and go through that, check my voicemails, return some phone calls, and do whatever work that needs to be done by me, and I'm usually out the door by 5.

Thats pretty much an average day

[R6Chick]

I manage the corporate pricing bids for a top 3 waste management company.

[Dave]

civvie world i drive around in a van and practice breaking into company cars, jump dead batterys, change tires, assess damage, and invent ways to keep people from stealing our equipment. I also serve in an ambassador role to our various vendors and potential new members around the city. Army world i teach people how to shoot and fight in small groups i also run ranges as one of the very few e5s with a range card

[Switch]

I just sit around and be awesome.

[OTB]

I try to teach emotionally disabled kids the culinary arts. I say try, because a good portion of my time is spent dealing with the ED part...ya know; restraining kids having meltdowns, dodging punches, getting treated for bites (twice), stabbings(once), headbuttings (not yet, but close), kids bringing weapons to school (twice), and all-around good fun. When we don't hove the kids, we're training for breaking up fights, throws and takedowns, single and team restraints, and when we're not doing that, we're doing paperwork to justify our actions in all of the above, and when we're not doing that, we're doing lesson plans, purchase orders, setting up next periods lessons, ect...

After my first job, I go to my wife's store, pick up paperwork and go to the warehouse, where I load furniture for that night's deliveries, pick up my helper, and deliver furniture till 8pm or so...

When I'm not doing those things, I'm either repairing furniture for our customers or other furniture stores, or picking up, delivering or working on bikes.......

Oh, and I also go to school two nights per week to keep my teaching credentials current.........:idk:

anyway, that's what I'm doing.................................

Gotta Hava Wawa!!

[anthonyk]

I manage outsourced customer support for the e-commerce part of the company I work for. Lately, that has mostly meant fighting with a company who feels persecuted by us and has a million reasons why poor performance isn't their fault. It also involves backpedaling on signed contracts when they come back and say "Oh, we didn't realize what that meant when we signed it," or, "We've been managing to our interpretation of the intent of the contract, not necessarily the letter of the contract." :wtf:

On the positive side, I also get to go source new companies to do our business, which helps my mood when dealing with that first part.

[Papa_Complex]

I spend all day wandering around the campus telling people with 10+ IQ points and several doctorates more than me that their computers are dead, because they forgot to plug them in.

[buzzcutt2]

Find new and inventive ways to let people know that the system is not the problem and that they are idiots.

[JoshuaTree]

I twist wire for a living (that assumes that there's actually work to be done). I try my best to not let Mr. Sparky let the 'magic smoke' out of wire, junction boxes, breaker panels, light fixtures, receptacles, and switches. So far, so good. :idk:

[CrazyKell]

I classify goods for entry into Canada. I research and prepare NAFTA certificates.

[MILK]

I talk about cakes, pies, breads, etc etc to people all day! :lol: When I'm not talking about them, I'm emailing people about them! No really!!! That's my job!! :rockwoot:

[RACER X]

i draw lines on the computer

[cbrchick]

I torture people. Stick them with sharp objects and instruments. I wake them from sleep and bring them back from the dead. I get covered in body fluids of all different descriptions and tie people down in leather restraints. I write redundant notes all day long and play secretary, baby sister, and mother for Dr's and patients alike. I walk 6 miles in 12 hours - back and forth, back and forth. I pull countless people up in bed, up out of stretchers, up out of toilets, up outta puke, blood, piss, you name it. I strip people nakid and wrap up the dead. I listen to lame excuses from lame ass people that can't bother to put the cigs, donuts, coffee, drugs, alcohol, or get off their asses and expect us to fix their self-induced problems. I make excuses for people waiting long hours and get bitched at for situations beyond my control. I "act" all day long like I care and am so tired when I really do that I have nothing left. And that makes me sad....

[t-homo]

I am a student majoring in Finance. Plan on getting my bachelors here in another 2-3 years and then moving to Vegas, getting my MBA, and working in corporate finance, if everything goes as planned. Oh, and I work at the bookstore. minimum wage but the easiest job on earth.

[tommymac]

So....what do YOU do for a living? And I want people to get creative here....I don't want to hear your damn job title or what company you work for. What do you do all day? ;)

[Amorok]

AIR FORCE (my real job)

In the military I'm an Education and Training Manager. I inspect training records to make sure military personel are qualified on all the tasks they perform and that their records are filled out right. Since many of my career fields have gone to automated records, I'm the first point-of-contact in line when the database gives people problems. I have no training to manage these databases.

I also send surveys out to people from Air Force Measurement Squadron. These surveys allow Career Field managers to determine what is taught in tech training, what goes into the correspondence courses, what is on promotion tests as test questions, what tasks go into the training records, and how many personnel will be allowed to work in those career fields in the Air Force. Since these surveys are so vital of course no one does them, so I follow up on them and make people complete them, and coordinate with AFOMS.

I deal with CDC's, with are a correspondance course you do to get a higher skill level. New trainees do them on their own, which means it falls to their supervisors to make them do their stuff, which means I have to ride herd on the supervisors to make them do their job. I schedule people for testingafter reviewing with them, order and inventory material, and build study guides and pretests.

I also deal with ancillary training. I make available, track, and enforce standards for the ancillary training program. Ancillary training can be defined as training you must do in addition to your job. This includes things like Fire Extinguisher training, Sexual Harassment, and the various security training items. Since it’s extra training, of course no one wants to do it, so I have to track it and hound people about it.

All of this training is stuff that, while not providing essential knowledge, will get you fucked up if you don’t have it done. For instance, if a plane crashes they will check the qualifications of everyone who worked on it. If the records are wrong, someone could go to jail. I breif commanders up to the wing (installation) level on all of these things. Beyond that, if it starts in T and ends in G, it’s my baby.

Wing Zone (my second job where I’m a wage slave for cash)
I’m a delivery driver for a chicken place. Not much I can say about it. I take orders, bring them out, and carry a gun. That’s about it.

[racedoll]

I screw around sending emails and fiddling with excel formulas for the spreadsheets I have to maintain.

I used to go shopping, but not so much anymore. Once in a while I still get to go.

[ericr]

I spend my days trying to figure out if someone really, really wants to buy a motorcycle, atv, side x side or if that "best price" they want is because they've never seen one before :idk: It gets old sometimes, but it's nice when someone is really in the market and I get to see them ride out on they're new shiny bike grinning from ear to ear. That's the fun part of the job. And when it's slow, i sit on the new R1, FZ1, ZX-14 etc, making "vroom vroom" noises while in a full tuck position :D

Heather, you seem to be getting bored a lot lately ;) Things slow for you or what?

[pickle.of.doom]

I drive around in a smokey haze giving people what they really want....

[2up]

I prepare requests for quotations, compile data to create quotes, prepare quotes and change orders, track sales forecasts, respond to customer issues, enter orders, check all projects for accuracy and track them to make sure they are meeting dealines, try to figure out when how and why projects got fucked up and then figure out how to fix the mistakes other people made. I also get to at least attempt to enforce the new proccesses and procedures we are implementing, and suggest new proccesses and procedures that I feel will be helpful. Essentially I get to be the bitch and say "sorry, your paperwork isn't complete or accurate, fix it and bring it back to me", or "sorry, you went outside the process, get to the back of the line and start over." I also get to say "why no, I won't do that for you because you're a big boy/girl and you can do that yourself."

[TYEster]

I sell Redbull.













And here's your answers before you even ask:

Yes it's free if you go steal from a convience store.
No, Redbull only gives their merchandise to "athletes" AKA their too fucking cheap to market their merchandise like Monster and everyone else.
Flugtag is only held ONCE a year in America, and NO - THANK FUCKING GOD it's never coming back to the city I work in.

[Cutty72]

Currently I am working to help save the city.
For some reason, the damn place just won't stay saved :idk:

Otherwise mine is similar to derfs for the start.
I also help transfer hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment from one unit to another, only to transfer the same stuff back a few months later.
And I help ensure that we have all the supplies needed for the company to operate efficiently.

I've been a machinist for over 30 years. So I get to "play around" with little CNC lathes like this.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/JRD77VET/DCP_1809.jpg

The lathe is 60 hp, has a 21" hydraulic chuck and a 12 station tool changer. The part in the lathe is a stainless steel cyntrifical casting that is 30 inches in diameter and 62" long. It weighs over 5500 lbs.

The raw ( unmachined ) casting cost over $25,000 before I started turning it.


Sometimes our salesman will get a job and come out and say " I just won this bid, how we going to do this?" :scratch:

Then you brainstorm and come up with a set up like this :dthumb:

The face plate is 40" in diameter and the flange has a radius cut in it for a large ball type valve.

Heather, you seem to be getting bored a lot lately ;) Things slow for you or what?

We get slow this time of the month every month. We get hella busy right before the first and kinda busy right before the 16th. I bust my ass for about 6 days out of the month and then the others I try real hard to look busy. :lol:

I didn't understand a word you said, but I like the shiny things! :D

[lauralynne]

I sell candles. And answer phones. And job hunt. And surf the interweb. And drive kids around. And keep Louie on track. And cook. And clean (well, not so much that). And laundry. And, well, the list goes on and on.

[Particle Man]

I play with large amounts of data and perform root cause analysis and provide statistics on outcomes, trends, and drivers in leaves of absence to large employers. I then use that data to make recommendations on actions they can take to help keep their employees healthy (example, if I see a group has a high incidence of prostate cancer I'd recommend something like partnership with their medical ins. carrier to set up pre-screening and wellness programs... simple example but it works).

I also get yelled at a lot because I end up doing a million other things that fall outside of my role as well.

Redbull is Losing ground, At least in my area..Shit is the Highest Priced Product out there and it Taste the worst...Ill drink Monster Kahos All day over Regular Redbull...And its Like 50 Cents Cheaper.

Oh, And No offense to you b/c I dont know you...But my Redbull Sales Rep is a Fucking Toolbox and thinks he needs a whole door full of his Product...I'm like dude I push more Monster out of here than you could ever dream of with Redbull.

Im pissed off I cant even get a Monster and Vodka at the bar its ALWAYS Redbull...And its like 10 dollars for one.

Haha I actually completely agree. We're not the highest priced, but we are the highest priced PER OUNCE. LOL

As far as taste goes, that's all personal preference, and the people around here claim it tastes better than Monster(even tho I sorta disagree regular M and Assault! are my fav)

And if you're talking about a convenience store, that's completely not my ball game. I deal with bars, clubs, whorehouses, and places that have liquor licenses. And no I don't tow the company line, alot of the redbull people actually BELIEVE that crap they feed us, because they feed it right out to consumers and clients. Not to mention since the slipping downward spiral of sales, they decided to pull our sales bonus' which are a bitch to get anyway and I hate busting my ass all month for nothing. Redbull is rightfully on the downward slope because of advertising. My boss and I just had a discussion about this when he rode with me one day and we to Cycle Gear and I pointed out all the Monster & Rockstar paraphernalia that's actually sold. I've worked for the distributor for 5 years, but only sold Redbull for 2 and I have yet to see one hat, one shirt, or one sticker. I'm just hoping Redbull notices what's biting their ass before canning all their distributorship contracts forcing me to take a different job in my company.

Funny how the underlings notice shit like that but management has no fucking clue. Trust me, TV news is no different.

[TYEster]

Funny how the underlings notice shit like that but management has no fucking clue. Trust me, TV news is no different.

I'm sure some of them have had the thought of it, but the higher up in management people get, the smaller their balls get in telling their superior where they're actually hurting.

And then the higher up they go, the money the make definitely imprints their brain into actually believing things. Thus disregarding an idea that could potentially not only hurt the competition, but make their company millions in the process. But god forbid you tell someone their shit stinks.

Hook a brother up.

it'd probably be more expensive to ship a case than for your lazy ass to go buy them. :lol:

Hmmm. Maybe you're right. In that case, shipping's on you.

I actually LOVE my job. I am a Park Ranger. Now I will be honest I hate the politics of my job but what I do is Sweet!! Every day is different. One day I may be hiking anywhere from 5 to 15 miles. Another day I may be taking people into the woods to teach them about different aspects of nature, or working with kids get them excited about the outdoors. I might go into schools, stop by a visitor center or an overlook. Then if things get boring there's traffic accidents, or lost or injured visitors, maybe on rare occasions a fire. :idk: there's to much to list. Now there are tense moments when someone decides to be an ass but as a whole I love to go to work everyday!

I put pharmaceuticals in poly vinyl containers and the USPS delivers them to veterans. I do this 1200 times a day to keep my job.

I sit in front on my laptop in my PJ's doing quotes, spreadsheets, emails, answering calls, putting out fires. I then put on my "business clothes" and stop by my accounts (industrial, biotech, pharm, Universites, Clinical) to see both purchasers and lab personel to see if I can convert business. I sort flyers, brocures, samples when I'm bored.
