What is one thing you have to do at work that definitely isn’t in
your job description? I
teach people at the office how to use a lot of our software, everything
from the Microsoft programs to our home-grown stuff. It isn't anything
formal, more of a one-on-one thing.

Put up with

About half
of my job is not in my job description. Turns out I can do a whole lot
more than they hired me for and they are taking advantage of that.

Put up with
idiots.
Tam
be a counsellor
for alcoholics. Definitely not what I'm paid for! Calm down panicy ladies
who've just been burgled. That wasn't in my job description, although
possibly comes under the "dealing with customer queries" banner.
Oh, and cleaning the fridge.

I distribute
the mail for our section and I thoroughly enjoy it. It's not in my job
description but SOMEONE has to do it.

Since my job
description includes the phrase "and other duties as required",
it's all in there.

I am a driver
for Donatos Pizzeria, and I can't think of anything I do that wouldn't
be in my job description.

As a software
contractor, I don't do anything that isn't in my job description.

I'm an old
fashioned, full time housewife with a degree from a good liberal arts
college. Nothing is outside my job description.

HA! It is
a striking coincidence that you would ask that today! I'm not sure I HAVE
a job description, but I am the secretary to the director. Lately my duties
have involved managing a conference for a guy who is NOT the director.
Today was particularly hellish. I am about to crack, because a) I'm with
this guy for more waking hours of the day than I'm with my husband, b)
he gets mad at me for not always knowing what's going on, c) it's hard
to get my actual job done, and d) I feel like everybody feels I'm a failure
and doesn't like me. I like the people I'm working for/with, and I want
them to like me. This was a very depressing day, and I came home to a
house devoid of all other humans.

Fool
arround and check my e-mail a billion times a day. Oh and play social
worker to all of my co-workers.
