GTKY: What do you do for work?

lindsayandjamie

The OOTD post got me thinking, what do you do for work?

It's probably been discussed before I became active again, but humour me.

 

I work in the Canadian sport system on the 2015 Pan and Parapan American Games project that will be hosted in Toronto.  It's a desk job and sounds more interesting than it is.  I am also doing my Masters in Rehabilitative Science part-time.

And go!

 ETA: To add context

I'm an editor, specifically a medical editor. I work for a large internal medicine physicians' membership organization.

I also do freelance editing and liquor promotions (going around to venues the rep has booked to promote a brand or new product by giving out free sample drinks). 

Basically I'm a workaholic.

I work in HR.. processing new hires and transfers, orientation, interviews, logistics, etc. It's ok. It's just a job though.

I SHOULD be teaching... I have my masters and everything but after I got certified the market crashed, we bought a house, no one would hire me as a teacher... so here I am...

I'm an Employment & Recruitment Administrator for the long term care division of a healthcare company.  Basically, I recruit for positions in the home office and help the affiliates all over the state with their recruiting strategies.  Most of their recruitment process is antiquated (they still waste their money advertising in the local newspaper instead of online) so I'm just trying to bring them into this century!

I am a manager in the mortgage division of a large bank. I manage 26 people as they try to obtain outstanding trailing documents and cure defected documents so that we have complete final loan packages to potentially sell to another lender. I also focus on correcting legal descriptions on recorded security instruments. Most of my day is spent answering questions, completing quality control, validating production and putting out fires.

Basically I run dialysis treatments on patients who have kidney problems.
I enjoy what I do most of the time. Sometimes the days feel like they are never going to end.

I am a property manager for a company that owns over 20 apartment complexes. My job entails everything from customer service to accounting to evictions. I don't like my job most days but it pays me decently and I can't beat the holidays/sick time this company gives. They are also very understanding when emergencies come up.  I'd love to do something else, but really I just want to SAH and/or work part time.

I'm an evaluator at a drug and alcohol rehab.

My pts meet with me, tell me their stories, and I put them into the appropriate level of treatment. I love everything about it aside from dealing with insurance companies.

Yes it is. I've been here 5 1/2 years. It's very draining. I have tenants that think I am the best person in the world and others who swear I'm out to get them. In reality, I don't treat any one tenant different then the next. They just think I do. It just kills me when I have one phone call telling me how grateful they are that I manage their property and the next tells me I'm a horrible person with no heart. You were smart to get out of this profession!

I'm an oncology nurse. Most days I love it but it can be very physically and emotionally draining. I eventually want to move over to hospice care but feel like I'd lose a lot of my nursing skills doing that.

I work at a digital experience management company (websites, etc.). My job is to do stuff with Google. I got my degree in something completely different and it can be disheartening some days that I'm not using it, but the company is awesome, the benefits are great, and my boss is super cool.

99.9% of the time it's absolutely awesome (and I work with great people).  The other 0.1% can suck it.
