Well, yesterday was my first day in work. Most of the time was spent reading through various instruction manuals and help files. A gentle introduction to the job. Today, I was more or less left to myself to get the job done.
What the job consists of is examining data from traffic flow monitoring, and looking for any anomalies or irregularities. If I see any, I then have to try and find out the cause - possible instrument failure, a genuine traffic flow problem, or just 'one of those things'. The most interesting thing to happen today was when a crowd gathered around the laser printer to watch someone attempt to free a paper jam.
