I'm doing a great job at my actual job: monument protection in the building authority!
I've just written a short essay — in response to an e-mail from an applicant — on the best choice of plaster and colour for renovating a cemetery wall: Organics vs. Minerals, depending on the base, the cleaning and application process. It is not self-evident that the technical administrator gives such detailed information as a specialised company, but I can do it, so I do it, and my applicants and colleagues from the other specialist authorities thank me for it. Only the colleagues in my own organisation, whom I see every day but who have nothing to do with my work, don't appreciate my work. What counts for them is my sociability and not my professionalism. In fact, they have no idea what I'm actually doing at work.
