To quote wikipedia:
Scrum is facilitated by a ScrumMaster, whose primary job is to remove impediments to the ability of the team to deliver the sprint goal. The ScrumMaster is not the leader of the team (as they are self-organizing) but acts as a buffer between the team and any distracting influences. The ScrumMaster ensures that the Scrum process is used as intended. The ScrumMaster is the enforcer of rules."
Working on this basis, and the fact that most businesses are running 2-3 projects at a time, what actual work tasks does a SM do to fill a full time job? Or, is it not a full time job and that individual do other things such as development, sales etc?
Do any SM's out there have anything to share?

A Scrum Master removes impediments and helps the team to become self-organizing and empowered to create, innovate, and make decisions for themselves as one team. The Scrum Master is a master of the daily Scrum, Sprint planning, Sprint review, and Sprint retrospectives.
In Agile, the team manages their task, scrum masters take over facilitation, working on impediments and actively get involved with the team. Teams are expected to be cross-functional and skilled to manage their dependencies.
ScrumMasters aim and work toward personal growth Perhaps the most important thing ScrumMasters have to do is grow. Their personal growth will help the Product Owner, the Development Team, and the Organization improve. Take time to read books, articles, and blogs.
It is not an easy job. Especially, when it comes to protecting the team from management and stakeholders.It is a very challenging role. It can also get stressful at times."
Unfortunately we don't have the luxury of having dedicated scrum masters. I am also a team leader and senior developer which more than fills the day.

I typically am on Stack Overflow all day. Oh, and I try to co-ordinate lunches.
