I'm a Nuclear Operations Training Instructor...
Though I hate/do not understand all the workplace politics and find it hard to do things my boss tells me to do when I can't see the logic behind it; hence I am doing a degree in psychology and want to work in academia (probably fit in better?)...
I take pictures and tours of houses that are for rent and also put signs and supra locks up or pull them when the houses rent or we lose management. I get to drive around in a truck most of the day and it's pretty cool.
Used to work at Arby's and eventually got promoted to manager. I quit when my husband told me I could - the only way I could deal was to self-harm and I hated it and I was depressed and would always yell and scream when I got up and had to get ready and when I got home. One night I was getting ready for work and crying and he said that I could quit.
So much interaction with people who hated you and treated you like you were less intelligent than the average amoeba, and never having a set schedule and sometimes not getting home until 1 a.m. and having to be back at 7 a.m. - it was horrible.

I'm a Train Planner - I write timetables and plan the work of our trains and drivers. Many of the Train Planners I've met have Aspie traits.
Scrapheap, are you any good at chassis design? I'm trying to work out whether the front end of an Alfa 146 boxer can be grafted onto a BL Mini with a flip-front bonnet conversion...

I am a Year 10 (Or 10th Grade) student at a Secondary (High) School. I went back to school last week, and will start Coursework towards my GCSEs. Sorry if I have to bracket American definitions as I'm from the UK and this is an American - based website.
I'm an analyst. Basically, I look at stuff and say what's wrong with it. Since everything wrong with everything automatically leaps out at me anyway, I'm very good at my job. I also get to do a lot of writing and editing, which uses my interest in language.
