Pretty easily, yeah. Customer tells me in advance what goods they want, and pay a little extra for me to buy the goods for them and meet at a dropoff point so they have more time to do... whatever people did in 1700... play video games?

I wish I sold drugs instead of shitty licensed Switch games and dildos.

I spend most of the day in a room looking at humorous public announcements from people all over the world until someone breaks the communication system for the organization and exile criminals and bad actors

Yes. We do it using computers now, so a lot of what I do is more database management but the basic method we use for accounting has been around since before the year of our lord 1300. All the stuff we do is just to make it possible to do at scale.

I work in a trade school and apprenticeship has been around for ages so I think it would translate. I would just say that I help teach apprentices along with their masters, specifically about boats and ships.

Im a process auditor, so they would probably understand but would think my job is not necessary ( can't blame)

I wonder how weird they would find: I work for one company. Other companies pay that company for me and my coworkers to do work for them. I may be moved to different companies to do similar type of work at each company.

Actually, yes. My job title originates from around that time I believe. The specifics of the jobs are slightly tweaked of course to modernize the job.
