What is your job title?

My job title is Design Engineer. I work for a small engineering company who make centrifugal pumps and mechanical seal support systems for petrochemical applications. Does anyone need one of those?

Store Operations Assistant for Marks and Spencer. I spend most of the time in the loading bay unloading delivery wagons and sending all the empty cages and crates back. Breaking down card board also takes up a lot of my time on Saturday mornings.

Other than that we're paid to move any heavy equipment around (display racks and such), pull stock and other jobs that no-one else wants to do.

College Student in a town where basically the only place that hires is Wal-Mart, and they are on a hiring freeze after eliminating any competition in the town.

Yay Monopoly.

Currently I'm a graduate student working on my doctorate in Chemistry. In about 4 months I'll hopefully have some sort of neat title in R&D at some company/corporation.

Basically my job (yes, I can call it a job, I work in a lab round-about 60 hours a week) entails running reactions and hopefully isolating useful products day in day out. Currently I'm working on some interesting catalytic chemistry. For the most part I go in every day, take care of what ever I had running the day before, and set something new up, or repeat something that was promising from before. It's challenging as 90% of the chemistry I do is oxygen and water sensitive, which means everything needs to be done under nitrogen gas. I hope that makes sense to people. And it was probably more boring of an explanation than I anticipated.

Cool! I miss chemistry. I was a chem major for a few semesters before a series of events led me to the ministry. I still enjoy it, but don't run into a chance to use it that much anymore, other than vinegar/baking soda volcanoes with the kids.

Interesting you should say so, as I work in an actual library; suppose that makes me a mundane librarian.

Shouldn't be the case for too much longer though. It's a part-time gig until I get out of college (this Summer. Yahoo!), and move elsewhere for grad school.

Yeah, it's fun to work with neat stuff all day. Unless it doesn't work which usually ends up turning brown. Those are the crappy days. But every once in a while you get a good one... that's when it's all worth it. Chemistry research is a matter of training yourself for failure 90% of the time. The other 10% is when it's awesome.

Technically, couldn't people sat at the bar be classed as Bar Supervisors?

It really doesn't matter how polite you are. If you're a customer, you're a nuisance.

why would you come to swansea? ohhhh you're from hull...sorry

courtesy is a factor that's a given but the nuisance aspect is making me serve when i'm desperately trying to put the delivery away or do stock checks... or drink a coffee. although no customers = no job so i shouldn't really complain

"crew Member" or "Proj Monkey"

both entail b*tch work and running projectors at the local grindhouse... as we are the only theater to run 35mm film in our area...
