My job is very varied - basically my role is to make sure that things run as smoothly as possible for everyone else, so I get a lot of different things to do.
This morning, I started off using a GIS (basically maps on computers - Hi Sid, please don't be offended by the simple description!) to analyse where people at a particular event came from. This is the start of a project where we will dig deeper and find out how much they spent, some socio-economic profiling etc.
My final job for the day? Sharpening a load of pencils for an exercise that the students are doing in the morning.
Odd? Probably, but I love it!

sweet! Sharpening Pencils? how many? and will you try to throw some up and stick them into the ceiling? I would!
Now that's some variety! I like doing a myriad of different things as well too!
There's nothing better than having a job that you love :)
There's definitely a wide variety of tasks there! I hope you have an electric pencil sharpener for all those pencils!
Where do I sign up ?...that is my kind of job....I'm pretty good with the ole sharpner !
Zig - I had about 50, and my ceiling is hard wood so I can't stick them in it :-(
Logzie - I get bored doing the same thing endlessly.
Ali - I think it is an important part of life, but there are things that are better...
Terri - No, just a little hand one...
Sitting in Silence - Much as I would love to have you working here, I think you are doing too much good where you are now. Sorry.
Nah that's pretty much how I explain my job to everyone except they still don't get it. They ask me if I fly around in a helicopter to create these maps.
Sid - What a great thought! Wonder if I can persuade my boss that I need helicopter trips!
Oh, of COURSE there are things better! I mean purely in the working sense - there's nothing better (work wise) than having a job you love.
Sheesh! As if I would pick work over family, friends, love, breakfast, Christmas...hehe :)
sometimes it's very Zen to just sharpen pencils...soothing.
I get that way sometimes.
couldn't do it all day though.
Ali - Don't forget shoes...
tz - No, I don't think I could do it all day either! But I managed to do it while catching up on blogs, so it was pretty good all round!
I figured shoes and sex were kind of a given :)
Ali - especially together!
