'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
People make movies and tv shows. They need little parts of other tv shows to put into their tv shows and movies. I find those little parts and give them to them for money.
[Describing my job without the word "sell" isn't difficult but it sure is awkward.]
I work on making it easier for people to watch TV. That's right, I'm busy making the world a better place.
Bless your fine work, Gud.
I help people who want to make our city a better place to live. We help people learn what a good city can be and how we can all work together to make our city a good city. We help people help each other. What I do is make sure people I work with get paid and get all the stuff they need to help everyone. I take care of the office and all the people in it.
I try to break software and test the fixes when I succeed.
My description of my job may differ from one day to the next, but this is the common word description today -
I listen to doctors, and then tell them that they need to do things my way and stop being big cry babies. Then they yell at me and I tell them in my sweet voice to get over it.
I try to break software and test the fixes when I succeed.
"software" "test" and "succeed" fail the up-goer-five criteria!
So far, no layoffs in my library, but we still have at least two days to go.
Did I mention that they have chosen to meet with people in an office in the hallway that is the main route to the cafe?
My job is to help people fill out the right forms and pay the right money to the right people. I show other people how to do the same job, make sure they have all the things they need to do the job, and make sure they do the job right. I spend most of the year checking the new things we will use to do the job next year.
I am impressed that computer is a valid word for that exercise, and machine isn't. My job is kind of like this:
People use computers to do their money jobs. I learn what the money jobs are and how the computers can speak to each other to make the money jobs easier and get more money for everyone. I tell the people who tell the computers what to do exactly what the computers need to do. I help the people who use the computers find out if the computers do the right things. I help people fix their computer job problems.
if you ignore the specific slice of subject matter expertise that got me the gig, and is 80% of my day. That description covers 100%.
