My background is in animal nutrition and I oversee a lab that regulates quality control in animal feed.

I am an administrative assistant in a small charter high school. So, I can work in the front office and handle attendance things, etc but I also have a full schedule of study halls so I get to interact with the students, too!

Elementary School Literacy Coach

@mrschickpea: Awesome! I couldn't handle full-time. Too many forced shifts at my department. I like to pretend it utilizes my degree (Communications).

@mrbee: you know, when I wrote that, I realized that it goes with my username but that's actually not why I picked it!
Too funny

I'm an academic researcher - most of my research is focused on self-control - and occasionally teach (mostly stats classes).

@mrbee: it stemmed from writings on my blog - I like things that are a little bit fancy but are also functional, like in design, fashion, etc .

I am a clinical social worker. Specifically working in infant/early childhood mental health primarily with families involved in the child welfare system.

I'm a Ph.D. student in the Humanities. Right now, I am studying for qualifying exams and working as a teaching assistant.

@MediaNaranja: OMG--cataloging is the PITS. Do you do mostly copy-cataloging or are you creating actual MARC records from scratch?

The one task that I procrastinate and procrastinate on is cataloging new books. It is so, so tedious--easy, just boring. Kudos to you for doing it! My old school district hired some aides that did all the copy cataloging for the librarians and I really miss that.

If I order books with our budget money, I pay to have them cataloged and processed before they ship, but I'm also on a book commiteee and I get thousands of free books from publishers, so all of those I have to do myself. And most of them are so new, they don't even have MARC records out yet, and I have to create my own (I get quite a bit before they are available for purchase, because the publishers are pushing them out to the committees early so the authors can be considered for the award).

Anyway, good for you! Wish I could hire you to come work for me!

@Anagram: I just do copy cataloging, thank god! I'm not a librarian nor am I trained in library science. I worked p/t at the library doing a bit of everything while looking for a f/t job. They put me to work cataloging once I started working Sundays. All the stuff I can't find a record for I leave for the actual librarian to do, ha! It can definitely get boring some days, but I just crank up music or a podcast and get in the zone. My boss loves me because I'm so fast

But seriously, they had a TON of grant money last year that they had to use or lose, and I'm still working through piles of books that were ordered more than a year ago (omg...). I know that the children and adult service librarians tried to convince the library director to order them cataloged & processed, but she didn't go for it Good that she didn't, I guess, since otherwise I'd be out of a job!

My title is pretty confusing... my job function is project manager at a PR/digital agency.

@Mrs. Taco: I only had one class in the fall and two in spring and they are pretty small. The course materials were already made so I'm more of a facilitator than anything. I have been able to do everything during nap times or after DH gets home or at the weekend. So it's very part-time, but keeps me connected to teaching. My mom will watch LO two mornings a week in fall when I teach the college classes. So far the online work has been perfect for our family at this stage and I think I will be ready for those few hours outside the home by fall. LO is almost 1 so he'll be 16 months when school starts in the fall.

@Anagram: If I ever find myself in your area, I'll hit you up for some cataloging

And hey, if nothing else ever comes of it, at least putting on book jackets has made me really awesome at wrapping presents Are "expert-level contact paper skills" something I can add to my resume?!

I'm a dentist. Hoping to go back and specialize in pediatrics next summer
