Actions may vary from day to day, and you may be called upon to investigate malfunctions with planning tools, to take note of certain potential optimizations, to support a planner in his or her "day to day" and to respond to any other related requests. Your day ends with plenty of great ideas to start your next working day, and a strong sense of accomplishment.
