What do y'all do for a living?

[jfb]

Hopefully not while on the phone with JFB....

The first five minutes are free.

Here's how old/past it I am: I have no idea what an engagement manager does. I'm absolutely clueless.

I manage client relationships, facilitate and ensure our processes are being adhered to, and monitor service delivery of the team.

Imagine accidentally confusing those two jobs!

I've been known to talk sexy at work.

I've never had to test the five minute policy.

I've been known to talk sexy at work.

And it's not just at work...

Well, I don't like to brag, but clearly I have the best job of anyone here!

 

[Michael_DK]

Mechanical engineer by education, working as a systems/requirements engineer in medical device R&D projects. Basically, a lot of documentation and processes, ensuring the project documentation is clear, thorough, streamlined and in compliance with regulatory requirements. A lot of paper pushing, but I like it - it appeals to my autistic side

Thanks! Modern corporate-speak eludes me. Because, well you met me, I'm old.

So basically, you're the guy the clients deal with, and you stay on your team's butts to make sure they do the job correctly?

I count beans! Finance Partner (read accountant) for a global project engineering firm. Just had a worldwide restructure so interesting times.

I'm an electronics tech and IT specialist by education, experience, and trade but have found myself working as a Project Foreman/Superintendent/Manager (thanks Business degree!!) as of late in just about every aspect of "Life Safety" (structured cabling, access control, CCTV, healthcare, fire alarm and more....oh joy!). Basically I manage a team of installers and give them direction while I make phone calls to engineering to clarify blatant issues, calls to sales to create change orders, calls to people who never answer my call or return one, and draw out the As Builts as we roll along on a job. According to my guys I do nothing all day other than shout directions and then sit in my truck (or find places to hide and play on my phone).

I have thought about the phone sex trade. The problem is that I don't dress sexy enough......I wear khakis and a polo to work. So maybe phone support at State Farm would be a better match for me?

<3 teal and pink -- are those real? Want.

 

[gasmansteve72]

I'm a domiciliary carer in the community looking after old people in there homes...
Also a Daydreamer with dementia in my spare time...

 

[HANGAR18]

My job is to buy PRS guitars and I raise money by working in the IT Department at your local alphabet soup organization in order to accomplish my mission.

 

[Boogie]

I take money from people in exchange for not telling others what they screwed up at work. After fixing it, of course.

 

[Mixstar]

Very, very happily retired.

I started looking immediately after seeing that post. I'm guessing they aren't real, or are simply one-offs.

They SHOULD be real, though!!

I'd go on a long walkabout, like an aborigine in the outback, speak with your soul & the spirit, come home, strum a few on your PRSi.............

........and consider a career change.

(*Don't get me wrong, it ain't easy, it's a challenge I haven't even conquered myself)

Huggy B,
I'm 68 and have been with my job for 23 years now. I'm going nowhere, man. (I hear a song in this last statement.)

 

[Shawn@PRS]

Shawn, have you reviewed my application yet !!! I can built/create anything with wood, except money, well maybe wooden nickels !!!

Your application is on Paul's desk as we speak.

 

[Deleted member 5962]

I can't wait for Private Stock Wooden Nickels!

 

[Shawn@PRS]

Not exactly wooden nickels, but still pretty cool. Made from the sound hole cut-out of a PS acoustic.
