I design and implement solutions for clients, with an unhealthy dose of eye-rolling, facepalming, and laughing at idiocy thrown in.
 
Well Bob, I manage and optimize the short-to-mid-term operation of a large utility's generating fleet (18 coal units, 1 natural gas unit, 1 nuclear unit). Basically this involves using Excel a lot to determine what units to operate, what fuel blends to use, when to do maintenance, etc. Also starting to get into more long-term stuff like analyzing how much/what new generation will be needed in the next 1-5 years.
 
First I come in 15 minutes late -- I use the side door so Lumburgh doesn't see me -- then I space out for awhile.

Also, I have a panel with a lot of colored lights on it, and the lights make patterns. The pattern of lights changes sometimes. Then I press buttons to make the pattern change in other ways.

I am a salesperson and I plan to move down south to sell timeshares to make a better living.

Every day if fun for me, although the time I spend is worth it because of commission.
 
I'm Bob from the office 😀 Basically I spend my day redesigning business processes and job roles using software.
 
Land surveying in the summer, project design for roads in the winter. Mix in a little materials testing and inspection also.
