The Jobs Thread

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Discuss your jobs here, bitch about them, brag about them, etc.
I started working for the Department of Natural Resources last week, and its pretty awesome so far. I worked an office job for four years so its a nice change to.
Wading through a swamp with a chainsaw listening to Amon Amarth is pretty metal.

i work at the institute for chemical process engineering and intoxicate myself with mercury ... it's pretty awesome getting intoxicated by a heavy metal is quite metal iirc

 

[azal]

i sit from 9 to 5 and translate news stories from serbian to english.

have been doing this for over two years now.

it's not fun but it's not hard either, so I'm pretty neutral about it all.

there is nothing metal about my job.

I teach Ancient History. It's pretty cool, but I'm thinking of taking some time out. Maybe look for something more varied, I dunno.

I am an Airport Underchief for the Airport Inspection (basically the Airport Police with a few perks and limitations). It's fun. I wear a cop uniform and scare passengers.

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

It'd be more metal if you were using a sword.

I'm a developer/DBA for the Army. Yes, one of the legion of contractors in the DC area. It's not very metal, but it pays well...

Well, it is a pretty odd thing. How does it work exactly? And I don't mean, "how do clocks work", but the way it shows the time.

I work maintenance and help run everything else from manufacturing to distribution at Midwest Canvas, who's primary role is making Concrete Curing Blankets, though we do 100 other small things that require machines to break every day and bust my balls.

In shorter terms: I drive a forklift around all day yelling at mexicans and rednecks who break machines.

Heh, so you're right then: it was a clock for nerds

I work in the sales department at a custom guitar manufacturer. The cool thing about it is that I get to talk about guitars and music all day, the bad thing about it is by time I get home I do not want to see or touch another guitar! So ironically I played more guitar before I worked than during.

Good thing you're not a gynaecologist then
