I usually fill a bagel (with cream cheese/chives) if it's Friday morning - else, I fill pita.
As for rolls? To crusty and bland for my taste.

Lots of hats. Ultimately, the quality of the product that I work on is my responsibility. It has to work. It has to be easy to understand. It has to be beautiful. It has to offer unexpected and valuable features. It has to surprise and delight. It has to be efficient for the users who use it every day. It has to be intuitive for those who don't. And so on.

Then Documentation writer (of course), and help desk. The latter happens because our own helpdesk, which counts 6 against 4 programmers, has the very bad habit of assuming that every malfunctioning is "software fault", while normally if they had done their job they would have discovered it was a hardware fault. Bear in mind that we sell advanced machinery, so it's 50% hardware and 50% software.
But they ask to check the software anyway, so we waste a lot of time... Also it happened that we circumvented HW problems with SW workarounds: that was the end of life as we know it. Since we "solved" (ignoring a hardware fault isn't a solution) the problem with software THEN it was a software problem AND all the "similar" (a X-Ray generator not answering is different from a generator answering slowly enough to trigger timeouts) problems are magically solvable software-side. Other hours wasted.
Happens also that our Help Desk calls us asking questions to which they already have the answer, know them since 10 years and have them printed right in front of their eyes.

So, all of the above, plus a couple of roles that only fit under "other": tea boy, cleaner, accountant, ...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Oh god, my last job was that...
I do not fear of failure. I fear of giving up out of frustration.

I'm programmer, architect, database admin and dev and documentation writer.
And I guess I'll soon be QA and help desk too since I'm deploying next week.
I don't mind though, at least I get to do things my way (well almost, there's some legacy code I have to be backward compatible with)

Sounds like one of my projects, but I typically have to do half of the reports too.

Some days I just sit and read the news.
