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

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.

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....

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.

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.
I am not sure you realy want to know what I do all day. You have heard my work rants

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.
