What do you do for a living anyways?

Everyone here is so fascinating. ⌒.⌒

My very first job was at a GameStop as seasonal help. I was still in high school then and painfully shy. My second job, and the beginning of a long love affair, was at a local used bookstore in my hometown. I stayed there for 5 1/2 years before I moved to Katy and worked at another local used bookstore for 1 1/2 years. Then I moved here (here being Austin) and have how been working for yet another bookstore for about 6-7 months. It seems I cannot stay away, despite the terrible pay and always always always so busy! :3

Somewhere in all that I also held second jobs, once as a secretary for a health clinic and once as a secretary for a small computer/network setup and repair company. Each of those lasted about a year before I just couldn't sustain two jobs anymore.

Now I'm toying with the idea of either taking ASL classes and working with kids and/or busting my ass to start designing/binding books eventually and/or helping people build tumbleweed homes... So much to learn first, though! @.@

So I started a new job in January, and everyone keeps asking me about it. I'm getting better at explaining it, but it's still really hard to convey what I do, haha.

Although I have a cool title. I'm the Portal Administrator. I drink tea everyday at my desk with my Aperture Sciences coffee mug. So far no one has commented. I don't think my co-workers understand the reference. Heh!

But, uh, basically, I'm like a wizard who sits around at her desk all day and does stuff.

I'm 25 and I work as an IT Security Analyst for a large international airline in the UK. I've been in IT Security for nearly a year now, prior to that I was in IT Service Management for a year or so and then prior to that I was a distribution, CRM SME, helpdesk and contracts executive in the Sales department.

I really enjoy my role in IT Security. I don't really do grunty type things like fix computers, but I deal with the more high level issues and assist in strategic directions and analyse data trends, deal with confidential investigations and stuff like that. Very varied.

[zamisk]

Psh, like a grunty could fix a computer. Their cute little hands probably can't even work the keys.

[Archaic Sage]

I dunno, she might just witch all over it...

^ HOW MAY I SERVE YOU, CLANG?

[Maxine MagicFox]

Archaic, do you still do the anime and games reviews for newspapers or something like that you once told me you did?

[Trifkin]

I saw the word grunty

I couldn't help myself

^ 'Swhat I was referencing. Love those little bastards.

And Kino, I am now a semi-decent DM for my own group. We've played 7 or 8 sessions without mutiny. But I really miss playing, I don't have a passion for DMing. I'm just the only one who really can at this point.

[Kinokokao]

I haven't even been able o play with my main group, ugh, sadness
