I am a school assistant (at a school with pupils between 14 and 18 years old). My job consists of:
- absence administration: I must input the absence of pupils, reported by teachers into a school administration system. Once a week I must print lists, and send them to the class teachers (there is a difference between a subject and a class teacher). Until recently I must remind class teachers to give me the reasons of absence, but now my two bosses will do that (they are also the teachers' bosses);
- washing used cups, saucers, utensils, etc. When once washed, they have to be put to the personnel room where they are ready to be used again;
- distributing internal posts and bring posts to a nearby location (I am not responsible to distribute the post there; I must give it to the person who will distribute it);
- do several tasks: copying, printing, making readers of printed documents (that I may have to copy several times). The tasks are given by other personnel (all other colleagues) and by pupils. For copying I must charge 5 cent for each page to copy, unless they have a permit from their teacher. If they don't want to pay nor have a permit, I must refuse to copy. At least I must tell the pupil that he either needs a permit or 5 cent per page I must copy;
- sometimes computer related support to colleagues and a few times to pupils;
- entering cancelled lessons into a database (that I developed before using MS Access). The schedule administrator gives me a list of lessons that are cancelled. For each lesson it is given the date, the time (lesson number), the class, the teacher and the reason of cancelling. That can be illness, external course, scholar affairs, special permit, other reasons. The boss can ask me for a table in Excel, which then is send to him, using mail;
- report bugs in the school administration system to the application manager, who also have contact to the company delivering that system (because from time to time there are new patches to update, upgrade the system and sometimes to add new functionality).
