I work on making it easier for people to watch TV. That's right, I'm busy making the world a better place.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Bless your fine work, Gud.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
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.

Our wings are not tired.
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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%.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty
I use computers to find people doing bad stuff with their computers, and then make them stop doing it.
