What do Enworlders do in real life?

[qstor]

Newspaper reporter in Southern California. Occasionally I still write for the one of the biggest comic book sites on the Internet.

That's cool! what paper do you write for?


I'm an attorney at Legal Aid in Michigan.

Well, I posted that I'm going to school, but I also work at Border's.

Though I've spent more money on books than I have before...

I attend American University for History (I'll graduate in December).

Additionally, I'm an archivist and secretary for a patent law firm.

I work at a major pharmaceutical company coordinating stuff between our site and other sites and contract manufacturers. Basically I talk to people who for some unknown reason cannot talk to each other and then get blamed when things go wrong, all while drowning in a sea of paperwork and e-mails.

Its better than a boot to the head, but not by much.

I've been with the same company for almost 17 years now. My background is Industrial Engineering (got my PE in '99), but I am currently an Operations Planning Specialist. Basically, I track all 13,000+ part numbers at the larger of our Aerospace manufacturing plants and help the staff by setting the MRP dials so that we can service our customers without carrying too much inventory.

I spend about half my time working with dozens of different people, both at the administrative campus where my cubicle is and at the manufacturing plant across town. The other half of my time is spent at the computer. Before I was promoted from 'Senior Analyst' to 'Specialist' I could joke that I put the a-n-a-l in analyst. I run transactions and queries that literally slow the system down for the rest of the company (I regularly get calls from the IT folks telling me that some of our outlying plants can't print shipping labels because of something or other I'm doing). I like the job (it suits me well), my boss, my coworkers and the company.

Corporate librarian. A couple years ago I worked as a university librarian and that got me back into RPGing after an 18 year absence.

Like half the people posting here, I got my degree in creative writing, published one article in Dragon, and got sidetracked (for 10 years now).

I work for my father building custom homes (or spec homes, or renovations, or perhaps unemployed in a few weeks) in central New Hampshire. We're a two-man outfit, so my exact duties vary from day to day and hour to hour. Subcontractor supervisor, computer tech, ditchdigger, finish carpenter, roofer, sider, framer, apparel dehumidification appliance ventilation installation engineer (putting in dryer vents), errand boy, boss when the boss goes to florida, drywaller....
I don't do electrical, plumbing, or, if at all possible, paint.

In the off hours I work on my own house, run my D&D campaign, and amuse my 2 dogs & 2 cats.

I have been a mailman for the last couple of years. I am currently trying to move up to supervisor so I can one day be a postmaster.

This post will be brought to Crothian's attention, sooner or later.

Double degree of art and education which I use daily at my two jobs of Quality Control at a plastics company and as a clerk at a convience store.

It gets as exciting as I can make it here in Arlington.

I was a commericial photographer for a few years before moving into prepress/advertising. From there I branched out into a lot of different areas over the years but primarily I've been a photoshop artist and, effectively, the company's "problem solver"/IT guy...
