I sit at my desk and cause trouble for people. As a result, some people hate me. :D Actually, I like being a Systems Analyst. It's my favourite thing. Sometimes, I'm called a Business Analyst, which is close, but not quite what I’m best at (because a business analyst must deal with business people all the time, and I'm too vocal and opinionated for some of them.) Ask me privately, and I’ll give you some examples. So, in a nutshell: they ask me to help design a system. I tend to dig through things and end up, often, with a very detailed picture of what’s needed. I have a good memory for finicky details, so that’s why I’m good at it. Then I usually explain to developers what’s needed and we come up with the system design (or sometimes I’ll do it myself, to fit into an existing system). Most developers hate writing up documentation, but I don’t, so I usually write tons of documentation that hardly anyone reads (but managers insist on having it anyway) – writing it helps me to clarify exactly what’s needed and how everything will work together.
