What do Enworlders do in real life?

Deal?

Deal! And a very pleasant one, at that.

I'm a special ed teacher....

I have the utmost respect for you.

Me? I'm a litigation claims adjuster. I handle lawsuits against a policyholder, and either settle them (everyone's pissed) or try them if we are too far apart (everyone's still pissed). I also handle bodily injury claims. X lost an eye, Y lost a tooth, Z lost a hand, and A is dead.

i work in a lab doing molecular fingerprinting at the CDC.

Question! (Professional curiosity.) Is this fingerprinting molecules actually? IE are you trying to track down the pathways of germs, viruses, and other molecular configurations? Or am i missing the boat entirely. In my line of work I occasionally deal with fingerprints (and Dr. Henry Lee), but I'm thinking this is actually worlds apart.

I work for a book publisher.

Cool

My wife is an X Ray Tech, has been for about fifteen years, she loves the hospital she works at and wants me to get a job there (when I get through the schooling that is). To me its the only place to work, I love the people there, and its the best hospital in the area.

I am looking forward to it.

Thanks for the kind words

Cool, keep me updated!

mostly kinda like Dr. Lee... but with the DNA of a particular "bug".. in my case M.tb complex

even with a match, though, the results mean nada/zilch/nothing/rien without an epidemiological link.


but i also work with resistance markers and genes... and with various means to develop a better vaccine.

Is it a secret from you as well? I've worked in a couple of jobs like that.

"So what would my job be?"

"Uhh, its hard to describe..."

I'm a Peon.

I'm really a technician in an extrusion blowmolding factory. But anyone who asks for an official job title, gets told I'm a peon. I work on machines that make plastic bottles. My job basically consists of making sure the machines keep making plastic bottles. Even when we don't have spare partsfor when the machinery breaks down because w dont do anything that might even be loosly termed 'preventative maintenance.' Occasionally i change the machines over from making one plastic bottle to making a different plastic bottle. I have hopes of landing the next opening for shift supervisor, but I'm afraid I might be too competant a technician to be promoted.
