A couple days ago it suddenly dawned on me that I didn't know what a certain member of this community did (for a living/as a job/to kill time). So I asked. Now I'm curious about a couple other people, so I started this thread.

Please present your job title, a small description (unless title is self explanitory) of your job, City/State/Providence/Area you work in, and your work nicknames, if any.

1. Job Title: Office Assistant
2. Descript: I assist the office. If someone says jump, even persons I have seniority over, I say "How high?" and proceed with the jumping. Left over jobs no one wants, I get. Demoted from Marketing assistant because I couldn't understand a client's last name.
3. City, State: St. Louis, MO
4. Work nick: the Smoker

4. Work nick: Joe. Thats not really much of a nickname. People at my work aren't really the nickname type. Except Rim, who gets called Sancho, but he's in Cambodia and thats why I'm the new head technician.

2.Description: Sit on my ass all day eating snack foods I shoplifted earlier. Furniture made out of pizza boxes and ramen noodle cups. Like to believe I'm funny, but deep down inside know that nobody wants me around. Ever. Even if they choke on a pen cap and I'm the only person that knows CPR.
