Can an investigator use inspiration on his day job check?
I can see an argument for both ways.
Against: the bonus die is not a permanant bonus, and has limited uses.
For: the bonus die is on 1 check, the day job is one check. The inspiration represents you working on a particular problem/task all day and having some insight on it.
If you are in the against camp, are you still there if the Investigator has the Investigator Talent: Expanded Inspiration, allowing free inspiration on all profession checks?
Thank you

I would allow Inspiration on day job checks if the character has the ability to roll his Inspiration die without spending Inspiration points.
While the day job check is only one roll, it represents a series of skill checks over an undetermined amount of time (meaning you don't know how many days it will take or how many checks the character makes each day). You'll have to be able to apply a bonus to all those imaginary rolls in order to use it for the day job check.

Is it Crafter's Fortune? No.
It does not apply.
Other "at will" stuff that does not apply:
your familiar/animal companion/eidolon that can't fail to aid another aiding.
24+ poly-morph effects
etc.
Other than crafter's fortune, if the effect is not permanent, it does not apply to day jobs.
Permanent bonuses from equipment, feats, racial bonuses, and traits affect your Day Job check as they would any check for the rolled skill, but temporary bonuses such as those granted by spell effects, other than crafter’s fortune, do not contribute.
It further goes on to use flawed logic on why exactly it works this way, but it's still the rule.

In some cases, the answer will be yes for Inspiration. There are some skills that you always get an inspiration bonus die, without having to spend an inspiration point.
Some of those skills can be used for day job checks if the right vanity is bought/paid for.
Like Andreas and BigNorseWolf, I believe that in those cases, the inspiration die can be used on day job checks.

I would agree with this, since as Robert pointed out above, it would be a permanent bonus.
