A 2 part poll is hardly going to cover any bases at the best of times. The question would need to be do you have a job with Yes and No as the answer.

Production is simply a reference to the department name afaik.

My job title says IT Specialist which really means I specialise in nothing. Everything that can vaguely be defined as technology seems to land on my desk. Very varied so can at times be very interesting.
I got a laminator delivered to me a couple of years ago, when I pointed out I hadn't ordered it; the janitor says "it must be for you - there's a picture of a computer on the box"..:)
