Broadband Technician for CenturyLink. I love it. Out side on my own doing my job. The only time I see my boss is in the morning or if I have to call him. Sometimes he brings out water and Gatorade to us out in the field.

I'm the guy that gets called when adults need supervision and can't make adult decisions. Good job. I like the schedule. Boss sucks.
I have mixed feelings about my job. Not terribly fond of the bosses and the co-workers but the three day weekends are pretty nice. I'm a Senior Mechanical Specialist for the fourth largest energy company in north America.
IT Helpdesk side of things. (desktop, laptop, server, backup, network, microsoft, apple)
Large State Agency, multiple buildings, multiple people, technology out the wazoo and can't keep up. No cost of living in 5 years, no performance raises in more than 5 years. No additional help, more and more work.
I've probably passed spqrzilla in the halls somewhere and didn't know it. (only hint I'm giving)
I like being the hero all day long, people love me, I like most people I deal with, not sure I'm making any difference though, but it's all still running every day when I leave. (and if it wasn't running, you'd hear about it on the news, I don't like being in the news, sucks)
Everyone is my boss. I have 100's of bosses, keeping them in order every day on who gets what, when, before who is difficult.
Stressed. Need more help. But I'm employed. Suck it up and get back to work.
Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.
Field of Civil Engineering, my boss is awesome, company is huge (pros and cons) I sit at my desk in front of a computer all day and love every minute of it. I get in the office early but I get home before 5 mon-thurs and before noon on Fridays. I don't make a giant amount of money but enough to make ends meet for my family
I am an RSO (range safety officer) and a firearms instructor, and....a part time graphic designer, I love all 3 most of the time.

Pretty much the same as my job at comcast except i hate it. I do commercial and residential date/voice/cable/wireless/alarms/skype and anything else they come up with. Busting ass 10 hours a day and my boss's wont come out in the heat or cold so i only see them in the morning. It was a great job 5 years ago and would be again except for the year round non-stop ass busting and 250 reports they run every fricken day telling us what shit bags we are. Took 15 months to get a raise after getting a promotionAnd as a business tech when im on call i cover greeley/evans/windsor/lasalle/ tri-town/longmont/erie/FT Lupton by my self yet the network tech gets a flash light holder and only covers half the area.

Data Specialist for a state entity. Good organization, awesome bosses, great co workers.
The job is mind numbingly repetitive. The same numbers on the same forms on the same computer in the same office at the same desk in the same chair every damn day. I have to enter info from worksheets that the field techs turn in for their service calls. We have 12 techs that average a service call per hour plus the "on call" tech who deals with after hour calls. That's an average of 60 to 96 forms per day that I load into the system. Each form requires 49 areas of data to load. I despise the job duties with a passion and there are days where I have to force myself to go to work. Been doing it for the last 4 years since I blew out my back at work.
Prior to that for 18 years I was out in the field, doing something different every day. I loved it for the most part but was on call 24/7 and gave up a lot of holidays and nights at home.
And then when I get home and weekends I'm in the shop gunsmithing.
Crap I need a vacation........
