I work in the service dept. of a car dealership. Holden actually. I deal with nice and angry customers everyday. :crazy:

Right now, I'm working in a pharmacy. In january, i'm going to be a full-time student... and next fall, i'll be starting an EMT Paramedic program, so that's what I will be two years from then. :)

I am a supervisor in the back office department of a small part of Deutsche Post/DHL called Fuelserv.

I have about ten people in my team, and basically my job is to poll, manage, and invoice all transactions, and look after the mag stripe and chip and pin cards we issue and the terminals we poll.

It's... a job.

Doh! I didn't actually post my job. Uhm, by title I am the Manager of Security Services at my company. Primarily I am responsible for R&D, deployment, support and pre-/post-sales engineering for our product (and to some degree our professional services).

My job was a little rough yesterday... Had someone kill themeselves on the phone. Always makes for a interesting afternoon...

See the interesting thing here is that I'm very close to finishing an English PhD., yet I've read that three times and still have no idea what it means. The individual words make sense, but put together it's like "shipping purple monkey dishwasher".

I'm not criticizing, mind you, just making note of my incredible disconnect from the terminology being used there. I'm not exactly a technology person.

well, I am sure it is my fault, I am not an articulte person.

I am somewhat educated (I got a first and a masters degree in sociology), but also not very lucid.

I work for a very small subsidory company of the German post office. My company is called "Fuelserv" and we basically sell a business to business credit card that can be used to buy fuel.

My job is in the department responsible for transactions. I am responsible for polling (which means we download card transactions from the tills (do you call them cahs registers?) of all our merchants every day), I am responsible for managing about 70,000 purchases ever week and dealing with every customer query on a purchase (ie peopel who say they didnt really have what we billed them for), and I am also responsible in charge of billing 70,000 purchases to all the customers. I also look after the company website, and all bespoke reporting for corporate clients.

We issue to our customers cards that have a microchip in, and also cards that have a magnetic stripe = they are basically credit cards which are used to buy fuel from gas stations, and I am resposnible for ensuring card acceptance with everyone who sells cash registers to gas stations, and all the banking companies who download credit card transactions, and also hotlisting (ie - stopping people who dont pay us or stolen cards from being able to make purchases)

I supervise a team of ten people, and look after the reception area and the "back office" area. I am somewhat of an expert in EPOS systems (IE ELECTRONIC CASH REGISTERS) and also VAT and Sales Tax, especially cross border European claims.

Im sure the job still sounds just as dull, but maybe now is clearer. Like I said, its a job, and I can do it. I find the technical side easy and the looking after ten people side hard, but... it's a job. I got promoted to a supervisor about a yera ago, before that I worked in the Fiancial Accounts department and I used to keep the cashbooks and rec the control accounts..

If it sounded as if I were being critical, I apologize. I'm glad you posted that response, though, as it helps me to understand better how things like this work, and I love learning new things.

Thanks!

could be me :)

Just transfered to a new store last week after spending 11 of my first 12 years at one store, so in total I am at my third store. first 5 years at one, went to one closer to home for 1 year then came back to the first one with a promotion.

Artist.

I am an in-house fashion designer for a clothing manufacturing company. I design jewelry on the side for my own label. Before all that I was a 3D modeler. Before that I was a piano instructor.

I prefer just sitting at home and painting mood pieces though. That never happens with a full-time job :|
