Volunteer work.


Project/Account Manager

If someone could tell me what I'm supposed to be doing, that'd be great.

Cheers.

'Project' jobs: does anyone REALLY understand them??


Listings Writer

it's every bit as thriling as it sounds


*thrilling

tehe

I hold YOU responsible for all typos in ALL listings I've ever read, now :)


that's fair enough

I must be responsible for at least half of them :P


:D


Secretariat Administrator

suicidal thoughts! you're one of us.


MI Co-Ordinator

soon to be recruitment consultant.


Ass Technical Officer

Why they reduced Assistant to Ass... bah.

Should really just say Biomedical Engineer, or Assistant Biomedical Engineer.

Maybe I'll get em to put Ass Engineer on my badge next time


:D


daydreamer


I thought you were the guy who said

"What's in YOUR waLOLet?" in those adverts?


!

Sidney Poitier!?!?


:D

I'd somehow forgotten about that. You bastards will never let me live it down.


also

this really isn’t in my job description, or remotely related to work, but the chief sub just asked me to find a nice photo of some bees to stick on the wall behind us. “Don’t spend too long on it – no more than fifteen minutes.” I do love this job sometimes.


my mind

is like
an angry
swarm of beeeeeeeeeees

*consults rulebook*

*sulks*


*smirks*


Process Engineer

I did Chemical and Process Engineering at University. It worked for me.


shirker


Information Systems Support Assistant

hope that clears things up


I have two now

1) Staff Nurse (Bank)
2) Clinical Nurse Specialist

The second is much better but only part time, hence the first.


Honorary Assistant Psychologist

Honorary meaning unpaid. It's a university placement.


S.T.A.R

Senior Technical Accountant Reinsuarnce


British Gas

'Bitch'


is this the bit where i say

junior vice president?


"Graduate Developer"

I don't develop graduates sadly :(


Postgraduate admissions secretary

I think...

I tend to use 'administrator' instead though, or just say that i'm in the 'postgraduate admissions' team. I'm all up for subverting gender roles, but who really wants to be a secretary?


web assisted telephone interviewer

as glamourous as it sounds..


Ha!

You're almost the guy next to me at work... it was all too familiar, including your weblink! I just checked, and you're not him. :)


Really?!

Gosh, i'm sort of excited, even though you've already explained that it's not actually me.

What does he do? Maybe we can exchange notes or something.


that reminds me,

you're wanted on set. Jeff's fallen out of his tank again and is complaining that the seat on the miniature motorcycle is too high.


"Emergency Planning Officer"

Nottingham City Council.


Internal Sales Engineer.

Wow they make it sound important and cool, it's not.


Any job with the word 'sales' in the title

Is never important.

Similarly if it has 'recruitment' or 'property'


and you're

so fucking important aren't you !


Box Office Manager

hence the pile of tickets i'm surrounded by at the moment


Parliamentary Researcher to XXXXX XXXXXXXXX MP

The 'Parliamentary' bit is superfluous, I just add it in as I think it makes me sound more important than I am.


Which is a shame.

There is actually the right amount of Xs there, but it's irrelevant who it is.


Huh?

I mean it's irrelevant to DiS who I work for.


Test Analyst

Exciting Non ?


IM A STUDENT

/"bookseller"


Graduate Mechanical Engineer

I'm 30. :(


I am a failed prophet

failed because I have not managed to get people to pay heed to my premonitions about the imminant collapse of the economy and the consumer capitalist society that you all know (and seem to like/tolerate)

(I used to think that they were logical deductions, but they seem to be too much for most humans to even comprehend without objectioning on wierd subjective gounds, therefore I can only assume that they must fit into the catagory of premonitions as I cannot adequetly explain to people who have been brainwashed , to a greater or lesser degree, into unthinking)


Airline Executive

My goodness I'm bored just typing it


Assistant Administrator.

But i don't really assist..
