Other What do you do for a living thread

Technical Analyst

 

My main job is working in the office for a relatively small local charity in the voluntary sector, though for the past two years I've been doing a lot of work outside of the office.
As I'm one of the few technically minded people in the office I get to do a bit of absolutely everything... general office admin, computer systems and server support, IT training, database development, managing volunteers, social media & web development, photography, events organising.

As you can probably tell I'm getting just a little bit over-stretched there.
The pay isn't all that great, but my primary role is supporting vulnerable adults so it has the perk of giving the sense of making a difference when I can help someone.

That's my regular 8:30 to 16:30 job, then as a side to that I do IT support and software programming for a few local businesses and nearby people.

...then on top of that I am a secretary and manager for a tabletop gaming club.


Before all of that, I've done the regular warehouse & retail jobs, youth work, ran circus skills workshops, a little bit of insurance brokering and a brief stint in art design.

 

For some of these a brief description would go a long way I feel
