Question: what is a typcial day in life of a analyst? 

Answer: My husband is an analyst.  He gets up usually around 5-5:30 AM, makes coffee for me, lets the dogs out, brings the coffee up to me and checks our personal stocks on one computer and turns on his laptop to check out what is happening at work.  He sits on his laptop watching transportaion flows all over the US, checks weather to determine whether that will have an impact on shipments, answers e mails, his cell phone and pagers to solve problems and feeds the dogs between 8:30 and 9:00AM.\n\nThen he gets back on his computer and does the same thing until about noon when he takes his shower, asks me to help him pick out a tie for the suit and shirt he's wearing that day, packs up his laptop and goes into the office.\n\nWhile at work, he trains people on the programs that they are not using correctly, procedures they are not following and makes presentations about the same.  He also does evaluations and follow-up reports on large accounts that include suggestions and recommendations on what could have been done better and what was done well. \n\nThen around the time Oprah comes on, he calls me to ask if there is anything he needs to pick up at the market so I can make dinner, stops by the market and comes home around 6:00-6:30 PM to a wonderful delicious gourmet dinner.  \n\nHe is, however, on 24 hour call so often has to answer his cell or return calls if there are any emergencies.  Usually, we take a spa after dinner, put on our jammies, watch some TV and go to bed around 9:00-9:30PM.  Oh, we let out the doggies before retiring.\n\nHe's worked for his company for 40 years since he was in high school, is well compensated and really loves his job.
