Timelies all!
I grow cells to study why they move the way they do. I also buy things to use in studies.
(Most words I'd use to describe what I do are not on the list)
Who was the real power? The Captain? or Tenille?

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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I help many a dog deal with their people problem.
'dogs' and 'problems' did not make it to the list.
Why are plurals less popular, I wonder?

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

That's the point of the exercise, though. It doesn't work if you don't do it.

It's easiest if you just use the site--it allows plurals. Just type your stuff into the text box, and edit until you don't have errors.

People take pictures of the sky using a mirror and glass pieces in space. I store them in computers so people can look at them later again and again. I make sure that the pictures are right. People learn about the sky from looking at them. This tells us stuff about space and us.

It's not that I didn't know what sarameg did, because...hey, paying attention, but I like reading it that way.
"I make sure the pictures are right" simplifies everything.

That was actually pretty easy for me. What I do-Do is so jargon filled and specific, being reductive to explain my job has become second nature. And the above isn't at all inaccurate; I make sure the data is good and accessible. Doing that is just a LOT more complicated than that statement would suggest.
eta: hah! Xpost.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I point light at people who act out stories for other people to watch. I can also use the light to help tell the story and make it pretty to watch.
I keep thinking about bangs, too.
So tomorrow morning my dad is having a procedure done on his heart. It's relatively minor (if all goes well he'll go home Fri afternoon) but still... it's his heart!

Sick people need help. Doctors try giving things to help them. I go to doctors places and make sure they do the plan right and have all the right papers. I look at papers that say what the doctor did and how the sick person feels. Then I send that to my job where they find out if it helps the sick people.
