desktop analyst for a cardiovascular doctor's network called heartplace.
i fix stuff that idiot's break on a daily basis, both hardware, software, and network issues as well as handle all marketing graphics, the external company website, our internal intranet, run the fax server and the update server and whatever other weird crap the directors and doctors come up with.
frankly, i'm sick of doing it. been doing pretty much the exact same thing for 12 years now. getting really burned out on it, but i really don't have anything else i can do. kinda forced myself in this career. it was fun for the first few years, but anything gets old after more than 10 years.

Yes, I bag groceries as humiliating as that is (hey, it's only part-time!)
Duties include: Bag (duh), clean, shop-backs (stuff people at the last second decide they cant afford/don't want), carts (I could make a book on things you customers do wrong to make my job harder and WAY more dangerous than it shoud be), just got trained to cashier so I do that in a pinch, fill bags when the front end gets low on em', if it's slow I help the stockers, or I stock candy on the registers, fill the soda machine, give liqour scans to all the under 18 cashiers (it's illegal for minors to scan them cuz it's selling of alchol), and last but not least, I empty all 31 garbages around our store.
Likes: Cute girls work and shop there. Dislikes: Said cute girls are, a. under 18 b. unavailable c. available but not interested in me d. all of the above. Everything. My friend calls me "Postal" Ed because he claims one day I'm gonna snap and shoot up that place.
My official title: Green Bay Metro Security Administrator. I'm a security guy at the city bus. I do collision investigation, bother underage smokers, keep an eye on sexual deviants, find and hold "people of interest" for the police (warrants and run-aways) I investigate accusations against passengers and drivers. Pretty much anything that happens with my station I'm responsible for. Except punishment of employees.
Likes: Co-workers, customers, supervisors. The fact I'm my own boss and don't really need to answer to anyone. Hates: Co-workers, customers, supervisors, pay, no benefits.
I'm trying to find a legit police job, but I'm two classes short of my degree, and am broke (stupid car and food).

I work for NAPA Auto Parts, A subsidiary of Genuine Parts Company (meaning that I work for the corperatly owned stores not just a Ma and Pa NAPA) I am an Assistant Store Manager (whoopie I am an Ass Man). We just opened a new store that I am in now so it is pretty boring, not much business yet so I get to fix my boss's computer, do fun computer stuff and car stereo stuff and whatever my boss wants me to do that isn't related to helping customers. That is good cause I am not a retail oreinted person, the last store I was at I ran the wholesale counter so I knew all the customers really well, it was like talking to my friends on the phone all day. Fortunatly I can bring my laptop to work and I have bypassed our firewall and can log online and post on ASOG, check my e-mail... whatever.
I would like to transfer to our Computer Support division though and just go around fixed all the stores computers, help setup new stores etc. etc. Mostly cause I am tired of helping customers. Anyway... if you need parts let me know I can help you out. The NW people used to refer to me as the ASOG parts b!tch.
Area manager for the paint shop that paints Winnebago motorhomes. Basically, one of 2 managers that oversee the production of full body paint jobs that go on Winnebago motorhomes. I take care of the prep and layout (design) end of things while the other manager oversees the paint and final finish end. I have no control over the design or color scheme of these coaches (wish I did) just there to make sure that it is done correctly to Winnebagos specs.
Like: 1. the money and stability is great 2. small town life 3. able to do projects on the side, when I feel the urge
Dislikes: 1. doing the same thing day after day 2. being a high paid "baby sitter" 3. not being able to be creative
TIG- It's people like you that I will probably need someday, I have 3 daughters, keep up the good workÂ

Clinical Research Associate. My company is contracted by large pharmas to monitor their clinical trials. My job is to travel to the sites where these are conducted (hospitals, clinics, and private practices) and monitor/audit the sites for FDA compliance. I also act as the liason between the drug company and the MDs who conduct the studies.
I like it because I spend 50% of my time traveling, and I stay and eat at nice places. I have status with the airlines and hotels, which means that my wife and I generally travel for free. I also like being the negotiator (most of the time) and the money is decent.
Probably the most positive thing about the job is that historically, it leads to even higher professional/executive positions in contract research and big pharma.
Bum. sit on my ass 5 days of the week. I work two days of the week in a locked psychiatric inpatient unit at a hospital.
why only two days? Because I've been at it for over 1.5 years, am unpaid, still classified as a volunteer, AM THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS PROJECT and I am getting burned out way to easily.
Basically, there's only so much I can do, It usually winds up that by the afternoon (12 or 1) I did what I need to do with the patients, then by 2 or 3, I did what I can do at the computer, becuase i am getting roadblocked by SPSS.
I only know so much, I'm getting a bit confused by the massive (and brother, i mean MASSIVE) amounts of data, AND the fact that the data set has about...oh...800 people in it so far, and that is all 2005, half of 2004, and no one yet from 2006.
I need better stats help.
I have my MA in psychology, am looking for jobs, and so far there isn't yet anything that I either have the licensing, the years required, or other req.s for, or I am TOO qualified. grrr.

It's gripping work.. assuming your busy... it's for the most part a reactive job where you can be very busy one moment then dying of bordom because of lack of work the next.
I'm still lobbying for a nap room...
I also should not be in customer service as I hate people, I'm trying to position my career where I have the least amount of interaction with my co-workers as possible... I want to be Wally.
lol!!! one of the companies i worked at in the past actually had a nap room. it was pretty cool. nice and dark and quiet. but you could only be in there 20 minutes.
