What do you do for a living?

[Maz]

Work in a call centre.
I love it.
I especially love it when I tell people this is what I do.

Are you the one who plays Greensleeves when I'm on hold?

Worked in the payroll department of the AA
Had my own jewellery repair business.
Worked in a call centre for a gas company
Qualified and worked as a property lawyer (Licensed Conveyancer)

Been out on my ear for a few weeks now and as there are no law jobs out there it is time for a change again.

It says on my business card "Aviation Training Consultant".

Code for as little as possible; eh Terry?

Still taking the sweets from the babies?

As for me I'm still one of the worlds highest paid trainees in the import and export of aluminum and other exotic tubing.

Were there any light days at Austin Rover? I recall as a yoof watching endless strikes, Red Robbo and all that.

The German take-over must have been a breath of fresh air?

I see no-one has owned up to being a Sex Worker yet.

Action beancounter by day sex worker by night (to supplement my megre salary).

 

[Shady]

IS Developer / Technical Support Specialist by day and latex wearing bike riding crime fighter by night !!!

Well I wish the second part was true as it would make up for the boredom/monotony and idiocy I face everyday at work !!!

Currently when I have the time when I'm not working / looking after my son / doing diy etc.. I am studying towards Cisco qualifications so I might eventually be able to go freelance contracting...hopefully !!

All the other jobs ppl have on here make mine feel a bit crap !!!

I am an independent geological consultant working in the oil and gas industry.

Isn't it terrible that the oil price is going down?!

Prolly nothing in common, but i used to work for a North American company who were doing geological surveys (seismic) of the Vale of Belvoir..coal deposits in my case.
The best, looniest, mental job i ever had. C'mon, i was 17, driving a 3.5 ltr Landrover across country, getting stuck in fields, blowing things up, wasting days away while the drilling rigs were preparing, getting colleagues landrovers stuck deliberately while they were in the next fields, then denying all knowledge...what more could a 17 year old want. And paid twice as much as all my mates...why did i leave?

That's okay I was only interested in the bread anyway, you can be as unsociable as you want TBH

You're in danger of sounding like an ex supervisor of mine yenrod...

The last straw was when he said ...
'it's not often i'm wrong...but i think you'll find i'm right again'

 

[yenrod]

BTW - why does this thread reek of a FriendsReunited 'what are you doing now board' whereby everyone is trying to get one up on the prfoessional status.

I remember once visiting Kent and got talking to a real bloke, yuh know from the North (northumberland) and we hit it off by the agreed fact that most are like: Ive got this and ive got a million pound house and Ive got a boat, ive got 20 cars all worth 100 grand each

 

[Chuffy]

I oil down the girls in a famous lap dancing bar. You might think it's glamourous but the money's not much cop. £220 a week. Hey, it's all I can afford.
