How many changes of job have you had?

Similar to the "moved house" thread, and after it being brought to my attention in the "ship enthusiast thread" that I seem to have had more than my fair share, here is my CV in a few lines!

1978/81. Merchant Navy
1981/82. Bar work.
1982/2001. Police (pensioned off on health grounds).
2001/03. Vending machine filler (working for older brother).
2003. Driving instructor.
2003/04. Sales of aerial photography.
2004. Airline security (summer contract).
2005. Call centre (lasted 1 month, just unbelievably bad).
2005. HGV driver. (6 years then redundancy).
2011. Different call centre (lasted 3 weeks this time, equally as bad as above!).

[Milkfloat]

Excluding the silly part time jobs including; picking up golf balls by hand at a driving range, bingo caller, bar work and security work I have worked for the same company (under different names and owners) all my adult working life. Roles have all been software engineering based making digital maps. After almost 20 years redundancy looms large due to my current inflexibility in moving location.
