This is a question The Dirty Secrets of Your Trade

So, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.

We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Finance Assistants
Due to a combination of choosing a degree that leads nowhere (philosophy) and being good at maths, I have been temping in various finance departments on and off for several years now.

A trick of my trade is to overestimate how long spreadsheet-based tasks will take. This gives me enough time to create and play with a Countdown-esque numbers game for several hours, using the Random number generator on Excel.

I've also created a Yahtzee game, but it's not as much fun. And there's no thoughts of Suzie Dent or Carol Vorderman when I'm playing Yahtzee.
