Analyze big data for the first time in the company's history (not the first time in my career). Basically a lot of documenting the programming/how the system works (SQL and Java). Automating and creating dashboards, processes and likely integrations soon (upgrading the system in the winter). No one really knows anything about it and there is 0 documentation.

Aka stabbing around in the dark with a heavy dose of tedious auditing, tracing and testing.

Also developing a ton of systems and documentation/audits that didn't exist previously and bringing the company to the 20th century (developed a paperless system and getting them on board with automating...which is a fight).

With a side of accounting/auditing/analysis. At least I'm getting into the programming/tech side as opposed to the accounting side which is exactly the direction I want to go in...

...but they also have me presenting a bit, which isn't the direction I want to go in. At all. I want to be the person in the office that doesn't get involved with groups, lol. Particularly when it comes to very technical things.
And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

I actively worked in a different University's neurocognitive lab where we tested mice and their cortisol levels. I was honoured as 25 mice were named after me (3 of which were named after my RS character <3).
During this time I had to do a ton of presentations in front of large groups of people, all experts in their respective fields, which unnerved me in the beginning, but I got used to it, and kinda made it work out in my favour!
-
Aside from those I normally work in part time jobs in sales. I've picked up a lot of fields here and there, done some college courses on programming, C++, C# , Java script, and what not, but I'm pretty bad in it.

I am a Mercedes Benz technician, working on all Mercedes Benz old and new during the work week. After work hours most days of the week i work on exotics such as Lamborghini's and Ferrari's. A couple of mechanic friends and i are working our way to starting an exotic repair business.

Hobby turned into business, can be fun but at times but it can be real tough. its nice to relax and play some Runescape.

Outside of Gielinor, I am a Mapping Coordinator in the field of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) for a local government office. To be brief, I am responsible for processing documents that change the legal descriptions of properties and mapping the changes accordingly on our local property tax parcel mapping program.

Additionally, our office keeps records of current property ownership, farmland assessments, and are responsible for administering other tax related programs for the public. I have been doing this for about three years now, and have learned something new everyday and met some amazing individuals.

Other than that, I travel when I can, and I try to spend time with friends and family. They mean a lot to me. :)

At one of my jobs (shop assistant), all the staff that work at front of shop need danger money. The amount of aggressive people that come in is over the top - when I first started working there about a metre or two in front of me a guy got tasered by the police in the shop, he just dropped to the ground :O Nearly on a weekly bases, sometimes more than once in a week someone will start abusing, people that have already been banned try to come in - and they are asked to leave and they just swear and curse abusive word :O I only work there two mornings a week and I am usually out the back.
If fat means flavour then I'm ******* delicious!

That sounds like a great job, I wanted to work on cars when I left school but couldn't find a job... so I had to just enjoy tinkering on my own cars.
Not as easy nowadays, you need to be a computer technician :P
