What they sometimes mean by "fast paced" is "we are going to have you doing many things that are not in your job description." Basically, you'll be doing the jobs of 3-4 people and some of those jobs will pose a significant risk to your health and safety.
I get that for most people, this is a nightmare. But for me, having lots of varied tasks is fun.
It's why I took a job at a tiny city with 11 employees in City Hall. Nominally, I'm a permit processor, but I oversee the permitting process, GIS, coordinating third-party services, and more. Yesterday I made a map for the police, processed permits, drove across town to fix a manhole cover that came loose (we don't actually have a public work department), took pictures for the city attorney of a mansion being illegally built and screwing up city utilities, and fixed a broken printer.
Yes, I'm stupid busy, but I enjoy the variety. I'm also paid more than double what most permit techs are, and have my hands in development, public works, finance, administration, and more. All of which will be useful later in my career when I want to move into city management at a larger town.
Leslie Knope???
Oh shit, you're right! We found Leslie Knope!!
