Earlier this week Michele from my work lunch group asked me whether troubleshooting (setting up equipment, fixing network connections, finding the right tools…) was part of my job. I grudgingly admitted that it was when Heather said that she rather likes it. This made me rethink al the tasks that are part of my job and decide how much I value each. It never occurred to me that someone else might enjoy a task that I dread. Conversely it must be true that the others avoid like the plaque the tasks that I absolutely love. This convinced me to draw up a list of tasks and order them according to how much I enjoy doing them.<\/p>\n
Designing and implementing solutions
\nVerification
\nInfrastructure projects
\nTeam activities that do not involve sports
\nTraining technicians
\nMeetings about general topics (department meetings, updates from the high-ups)
\nRunning production tests
\nTroubleshooting lab and production set-ups
\nTeam activities that involve sports<\/p>\n
Well, there you go. I would just like to point out that I like my job. I just like some facets of it more than others, that’s all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
