I always think these are fun!

A bell rings and I make teenagers get off their phones. I then try to provide them with knowledge that comes from somewhere other than Snapchat and TikTok. They roll their eyes. Another bell rings, repeat...again and again. Also, I am poor.
 
I put books on shelves and I take books from shelves. I keep track of people borrowing the computers. I charge people for photo copies. I make people read and I tell teenagers to shut up.
 
Since I retired, I would be hard pressed to describe what I do as it varies from babysitting duties to just random tasks and errands. When I did work, I used to tell people that I herded cats. I was a program manager with a goal of keeping all the various aspects of a project moving toward a common goal and deadline.
 
Before retirement...

Get yelled at by nurses. Get yelled at by providers. Get yelled at by patients. Cause blood to hemolyze and coagulate in tubes. Spill urine. Contaminate cultures. Pay no attention to details, safety, reference ranges, critical values or quality.

Look at tiny things through a set of binoculars fixed to a desk with a stage attached, to find tiny errors in the tiny things that indicate MAJOR errors in the human body.

Look at hundreds to thousands As, Ts, Cs, and Gs for single changes, deletions, and insertions that affect all hundreds and thousands As, Ts, Cs, and Gs that follow the change.

Look at hundreds to thousands of As, Ts, Cs, and Gs and the pretty colors that make spikes when certain A, T, C, and G patterns are present.

Tell people what to do.
Spend lots of other peoples' money.
 
Hmmm....

My company builds, sells and installs the things you walk up and down on and hold onto when going up and down.

I review what another companies customers want built into their new homes. Then I tell the said company what they have done wrong when requesting their customers orders. Then I write notes to demand money from them.

I process the daily pennies and dimes that we receive. I enter pennies and dimes into the computer.
At the end of the month, I do math to see if my pennies and dimes are added correctly. I then play the match game with what we sold, and the banker.

I pull data from one place and put into another place for all kinds of math that will tell people margins and increases on products we manufacture.

I constantly enter and re-enter product information at the whims and/or opinion of other people based on what they think it should say and not on actual description information.

I am often in a revolving door of updating incorrect cost and pricing for at least fifty-leven individual products.

I'm a generally good detective and can sleuth out information and I've become "ask Kiana" so I answer questions from other people whose jobs are not related to my own about all kinds of things.
 
Open door. Close door. Open door. Close door. Yell "quiet" that gets ignored. Then some more open door, close door.

Before retirement, played with numbers all day long.
 
I sell people drugs. Some of them complain. Some of them are grateful. I also shoot some of them because they ask me to. And I count a lot.
 
I help people learn about letters, words, and numbers. I wish I didn't have to shush them and tell the to sit still and pay attention so much.
