What do you do for a living?

[Lups]

I'm a housewife, just bad at it. As my side kick I fix flats and houses and since this is a covid year, I've only fucked around with stocks.

I'm probably the worst housewife in the history. My husband agrees with me on that.

Don't be mean to my girl there! The man had to change his handle thanks to some dyslexic member here thinking he was a she. If he can have beautiful locks on a forum, he sure as shit can tell his employer he has real clout here.

My position has changed so many times since I've been here, I'm not sure they even know anymore. I still make shit happen. My job responsibilities depend on what day it is.

Ah, you're paid to get stuff done

.....and what do you do good sir? We have a facility in the UK. If we work for the same company...Shhhhhhhh.....

I work for a small fabrication company, where my role is CAD monkey, sales engineer, computer/network administrator, QC manager, problem solver, ideas guy, occasional CNC machinist, etc. Depends on the day, and who is ill or what has stopped working. Officially I'm a 'project engineer', whatever that means

I'm a ninja as my side gig.

Very similar positions. I'm a "Project Coordinator" which basically translates to Bester of Conundrums. The way I see it, I get paid for being resourceful and an out of the box thinker. When people look at problems so long, they can't see the simple fix, that's when I get called. My blue print manipulation is handled without CAD, (sadly, I use powerpoint, again resourceful, because work doesn't want to pay for another CAD license for me) I don't deal with sales anymore (although I do miss the mental chess game), dealing with IT and network admin stuff this morning installing new door access controls (MACs, IP's, and elbows deep in an MDF this morning), screw QC I want no part of it, I'm also our site's 5S/Lean Manufacturing Guru. I like to tell people I'm bald because of all the hats that I wear.

[Tambohamilton]

nice list

Yeah I want no part in QC either, but the last guy left midway through covid nonsense, so muggins here needs to pick up the pieces where possible...
