What is your job and what are your duties? is your job boring or intersting?

Here is what I do I plan stowage for cargo ships, and monitor the loading and discharging operations, it is quite interesting, often dangerous and always different one day from the other. You must be a bit of a dare devil, must not be afraid of heights and you have to be able to trobleshoot difficult stowages and space availabilty always keeping in mind ship stability, crew lives and cargo safety.

Let's hear / see what you do.

I'm a physicist.
I work in a coaching school. Coaching school is a place where high school students get extra help than their schools. I teach physics.

I am qualified in two trades, motorcycle (Suzuki & Yamaha) & motor vehicle (Volkswagen Master Tech).

I run a busy motor vehicle workshop for a Volkswagen dealership. I am the workshop foreman, we repair up to 90 motor vehicles a day & generally work a 55 to 60 hour week in 5 days.

I have 2 admin staff, 18 qualified mechanics & 8 apprentices & 1 detailers to look after, as well as the 90 odd customers a day, so I'm quite busy most days.
