Hi Patti!

I'm a security officer at a data center. More specifically I'm a metal detector operator and it's my job to make sure no unauthorized items leave the floor. I'd love to share a photo with you, but unfortunately phones are not allowed where I work and I signed an NDA.

I find the job both stressful and boring. It's stressful because I am an introvert and I get to try and make small talk with people all day long. It's also boring since it might be anywhere from 30 seconds to several hours before I have work to do.

I find that while I don't hate my job, as long as I'm not being drafted to work extra days, I don't particularly like it either. It's a job, not a career, and not something I'm really passionate about.

I currently work 3 12 hour days, and it is exhausting after that third one, which is why it's been harder on me lately since I've been given the joys of an extra 12 hour day.

Well that's my day job. Not glamorous, but it pays the bills for now.

Ta ta!

Hello Patti,
I am a Natural Resource Specialist for the State of Alaska Department of Natural Resources in the Water Resources Section. I adjudicate water use authorizations for oil and gas companies throughout the state. I work with companies like ConocoPhillips on a daily basis so they get water they need for all projects including camp use, building ice roads, refineries, drilling etc. It is interesting when you get to tell an oil company no! In Alaska all water belongs to the state so it is a challenge to give everyone what they need. Sometimes multiple companies want the same water. However, fish and other resources must be protected as well so we can't let them take it all from one source.

Here is my cubicle:
