Alright, not a meme, but stolen anyways

[sorcyress]

Because getting you lot to talk about yourselves is like pulling teeth, honestly. I expect answers when I ask how your day has been!

So, this is stolen librarly from my dear sweet mother: What do you do?

I'm mostly referring to the job aspect of things, but take it in the metaphorical sense as well if you'd like. I don't want a general "Something with computers or pottery or offices" I'd like to know what you *do*

Mostly for stalkyreasons. *grin*

So yeah. What do you lot do?

~Sor
MOOP!

(((And as for me? I'm a high school student, a prospective college student, and a theatre technician. I'll copypaste the rest of it over from mum's some time.)))

A the moment, I alternate between looking for a job and avoiding looking for a job.

I know, I know.

Currently I:

Work at Starbucks. I make coffee, I clean, I ring people on the register, I work the drive-thru and I do the art work for the chalkboards at our store.

Gestate a baby girl.

Am sewing a quilty with cute fishies for same baby girl.

Read a lot.

Watch a lot of Star Trek DS9.

Am planning lots of home decor crafts.

Am packing away most of my wardrobe since my closet is tiny and I can't wear the clothes.

Shop too much because I love clearance sales.

Kick ass!

Quilt, not quilty.

Sorry, pregnancy shrinks your brain by 9%. I am teh dumb!

I'm a college student, currently getting some Gen Ed classes out of the way so that a year and a half from now, I can start making some movies.
In the meantime, I screenwrite and play a ton of video games (by now my hand has frozen into a withered claw around the Guitar Hero frets).

I'm a Programmer/Analyst. As best I can tell, the "analyst" part means that I shove data through our huge computers and transform it into different sorts of data, and can presumably do so in an appropriate manner to be able to generate specific types of data upon request. The "programmer" part means that I maintain existing capabilities and add new ones to our system.

On the whole, I spend a small part of my day initiating new large batch jobs for data processing (a task which will hopefully become relatively obsolete soon), and most of it working on improvements to the existing system. Those improvements vary from new features to bug fixes to efficiency improvements.

More specifically, I work in Bioinformatics, which means that we look at massive amounts of data having to do with biology. As you already know, I work in the "biotch" industry.

I also suffer from volunteeritis. I've left a whole bunch of volunteer positions (related to club and convention organization) behind recently, but I'm still a trustee of an off-Broadway theatre company, and am now a member of The Elegant Arts Society. There are a bunch of organizations floating about for which there's a fairly significant chance I'll find myself committing to some real responsibilities in the near future...mostly in fandom and historical dance.

As listed here (http://werewulf.livejournal.com/101180.html?thread=604988#t604988). I did forget to add to the list that also I'm Listmaster Emeritus of the Flags of the World (http://www.fotw.net) international organization, founder of The Fellowship of Christian Greens, and former designated "super-fan" for a now-defunct A-League pro soccer team.

And a lowlife. But you knew that part...

I'm what seems to be a perpetual college student. Currently my major is Mathematics, which was changed from Aerospace Engineering. I also have a part-time job where I tutor high school students in Math and Science. I also 'do' Judaism. Kosher, Shabbat, etc. It's probably the biggest influence in my life right now.

What do I do? I nearly get myself killed attempting to deliver cookies to people having bad days, I buy sandwiches for nice girls who don't have that much money, I help people who move here find new friends, I study hard, I build my life and I build my happiness.

Does that work?

At the moment my occupation involves watching Sweeney Todd over and over again and taking notes, because I apparently give in too easily.

work:
more than you probably want to know: Currently i'm a Project Manager for the IT division of an airline. I'm working on a project where we are replacing all the systems that run our Technical Operations, which is where all the airplane maintenance takes place. I'm a newbie in this business space, but it's pretty interesting.
As a PM i manage the project. I make sure we figure out what we need to do, and then make sure it all gets done... on time, under budget, and meeting the needs of the business. with this project, that aint easy ;)

life:
I have a husband and a 18 month old rugrat who is just too adorable (well, the hubby is pretty adorable too!)

I'm a College student, seeking my AA transfer degree and taking currently 5 Theater Arts classes. I have 2 jobs, one as a retailer of fireworks, and one as a professional Theatrical Technician, primarily as a stagehand, carpenter, and somewhat of a lighting tech. Also have some rough drafting and model skills which I should be working on now, so... bugger... *Leaves*

As I said for your mom's entry:

//Uh....I'm a college student. This means I spend months at a time taking classes whose material I'll forget within days of the semester's end, all the while spending obscene amounts of money to do it (a few hundred dollars per class hour, according to someone or other's calculations for my school). Eventually I'm supposed to, you know, graduate, and then figure out what else is supposed to go in this space.

When I'm not doing that, I'm a movie theater bitch. I give generally rude, angry, stupid, and ignorant people tickets and food and listen to them complain about the prices and how busy it is, neither of which I have even the tiniest amount of control over. With any luck that'll change after Bonnaroo this year.

Outside of the above, I spend time with drama_angel3189, and quite a bit of time at your house too. Not much else beyond that. :P//

There's probably stuff to add, but....yeah. I'll add it when I post this question-turned-meme myself.

At the moment I am a "Quality Assurance Analyst" for a company that does mostly international payment processing.

I get to work, I get something to drink. I read my email - mostly about what people think is not working. I then look at their problem and tell them (politely) one of the following:

You are an idiot and this works fine.
Here is the answer to your obscure but at least not stupid question
Send me more infomation so I can figure out what is going on
Dang, you're right that does not work, I will enter a bug and you can hope we fix it someday.
Oh Jeepers! That is a real problem we will fix it ASAP.

The rest of the time I check that things we tried to fix were fixed correctly, and that things we just did new work. I do that by writing test plans and executing test plans. This is sometimes as boring as it sounds, but not always.

I get pestered by people all day, as I know a lot about how out very complicated system works. (Since we have clients we like to do what we get paid for. Oddly enough we do a very high % of the time.)
