I realised that since this has now been announced I can talk about it outside of password protected/friends locked posts.
I've been working at my current job for six and a half years, which is forever. My job title is Database Spec Writer, which makes sense inside the market research industry, but not so much outside of it. I do write databases, into which data is entered, which has been collected on a subset of the public's views on various things. Sometimes we get the data in excel, in which case I clean it up, check it and then use that data. If it sounds very boring that's because it is. But it does allow me to listen to lots of Doctor Who audio plays and narrations while I do it.
However, I am moving departments. My new job titles is going to be Trainee Online Programmer. I think. The tense in that is not quite the right one because I have both started and not started. A lot of what my new job will be will involve Flash programming. Which I've never done before because I can't learn anything unless it's useful and it's not useful to me. I currently have Flash on my computer at work and I've started learning it.
Which is all very well and good but I'm the only one in my department that knows how to do whole loads of stuff. And the rest I do much quicker than anyone else. So I'm still needed there. And at the moment I have more work than I can fit into normal hours with one job, never mind two!
So at some unspecified point in the future I'll have a new job. Properly have a new job, as opposed to sort of have a new job.
