I'm surprisingly functional when in Work Mode. I walk into crowded rooms, talk to people, initiate telephone conversations... all good. Apparently I need a set script to quell the horrors.
Working from home doesn't work so well for me. Or rather, I don't work so well from home. Lack of scripting is the issue, I suspect.
My job title is either Computer and Network Technician or Network Specialist, depending on the printed material. Basically I'm a geek-for-hire who mostly goes to small businesses and makes their computers and network behave properly. (Where "properly" means "as the user expects them to behave." This means I'm educating the users about what they should expect and how not to break the freaking computer/network again while I'm fixing the computer/network.)
We've got a few contract customers with whom I work closely, and other customers of varying regularity.
That's the great part of the job. I'm getting a really wide range of experience, both with "networks which were set up mostly the right way" and "what the fucking byzantine hell happened HERE??" Seeing both is really helping with knowing what "the right way" looks like.
