I work for the Privy Council Office which is directed by the Privy Clerk (He is the most senior public servant who reports directly to the Prime Minister). I work in the Machinary Of Government section. I am the assistant to about 8-10 (depending on time of year) that are mostly lawyers...I help with research, ensuring that the proper formatting and various procedures are followed for Ministers, House of Commons and PM correspondences sent out (you'd be surprised, they all have their own preferences which leads to letters, memo and notes being sent back due to wrong font being used or paragraph settings), sending and receiving packages that are of an urgent matter and basically, a lot of running around. It is sometimes a little boring, if the House isn't sitting, but all in all, it is a very interesting job - A huge change from when I was working in the HR division at HRSDC. One of the perks is I've gotten to eat at the Parliament Restaurant in Central Block. It is the most amazing food I have ever tasted!!

So, now that I am done boring you all - I will continue reading what other members do for a living :)

I work for one of the worlds biggest computer companies as a Data Management Specialist.  The title doesn't give it away, but essentially I'm a Systems Architect responsible for scoping and designing large storage subsytems like SAN's (Storage Area Networks - think of big trays of hard drives that servers connect to if you aren't familiar with the term), Data Warehouses, Private Storage Clouds and Backup and Recovery products and methodologies.  If that isn't fun enough, I specialize in solutions for Messaging deployments like MS Exchange, and Virtualization.  In a nutshell I help people design and implement systems that let them manage data from the time it's created to the time it's destroyed.  My customers range from Federal to Provincial and Regional Governments across Canada. 

As some of you may know, I travel for a living.
