What do Enworlders do in real life?

In my current position...

My current position is sort of leaning over while sitting.

 

[Ghostwind]

My primary job function is professional stay-at-home dad for two kids. Other jobs that fill in the remaining hours of the day include: freelance game designer/writer, marketing director for Bastion Press and Magnificent Egos, games coordinator for a FLGS, maintaining a review website, and trying to get a fledging e-publishing business off the ground.

No wonder why I feel like I am getting nothing done...

I more or less finished school (all exams behind me) and will spent the next month waiting for my graduation day.

Then I'll get me some higher education (philosophy/communicatin, ideally), though the army may draft me for 9 month in between (but I hope not, they don't really need many soldiers).

Thereafter the happy fight of not getting unemployed/caught in a job I hate.

Appart from all that I also plan to kick myself in the ass and get some unpaid design done and see if I get anything published.

Clearly, you're not from the U.S., since (a) we don't have a draft, (b) those who serve do so for several years, and (c) our army definitely needs soldiers. So, out of curosity, where do you live?

I'm a "Composer." Which in my work jargon means that I work with desktop publishing software and "compose" tax forms. (No, I don't get to make them up myself, someone else sends us a technical mark up and me just make the changes we're told to. )

You don't happen to work for Donnelley do you?

Albany Web perhaps?

As for me I'm a pre-press specialist.

I'd like to give a "shout out" to all my library brethren!

SHhhhhhhhh

 

[sniffles]

Like several others around here, I'm a librarian (with a Master's in Library Science). In my current position, I work with the long-term preservation of digital state government information (e.g. PDF publications, state agency websites, etc.)

I'd like to give a "shout out" to all my library brethren!

Really?! My sister is a government documents librarian!

I am a security analyst at a major software corporation, aka in house hacker. But we don't hack out, we hack our own stuff so we don't get hacked. I am trying to move into a group that works on the security of our products but they said try again when you have more experience. So it will be about a year before I try again.
