your jobs

[Rusty Nails]

I do business.

So you're the one wot done it.

 

[Rusty Nails]

Retired now, but worked for 35 years in industry and the last ten years self-employed.

I realised that I had never liked working for organisations, only to find that as a self-employed person I had hundreds of bosses in loads of organisations.

 

[PaulB]

I am a professional hop-scotch player.

 

[Cavalol]

I work at the Post Office. The Queen came to visit the other day, I didn't know whether to shake her hand or lick the back of her head.

 

[Cavalol]

Actually, I'm a diesel fitter in a clothes shop.
Diesel fit the missus, diesel fit the kids etc.

 

[screenman]

I thought you were a car dealer from 1978-88?

Self employed, not sure that is the same as having a job. I did not mention not working.

 

[screenman]

If you’ve been doing paid work, surely that’s the definition of a job / employment
Assume you don’t fix the dents for free? If so, when are you free? Do you refurb wheels for free too?

I do not do wheels, but I often do dents for friends free.

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

I do not do wheels, but I often do dents for friends free.

I thought it was money for nothing, chips for free?

 

[Levo-Lon]

I thought it was money for nothing, chips for free?

On any street

Do not do chips, although I did just eat some a few minutes ago in Skeggy. I fix dents not paint.

Laser Scanning Operator. Using a surveying scanner, or a precision arm mounted scanner for components. The software is the hardest part. I've been doing this for about 18 months. Steep learning curve.

Prior to this I've worked in factories. I don't miss that at all, nice to visit factories, and not have to work in them.

Is it the Faro arm you use? I'm in Survey tech support. I work for a company that sells and hires survey kit to the industries. This means I might be answering the phone or up to my knees in mud or lecturing at a university.

I quite enjoy it really.

 

[Biff600]

I have the easy job....................

All I have to do is ensure employees go home in the same condition as they arrived.........................it's the bit in the middle that's the problem.

 

[Jimidh]

Lance Armstrong’s best pal here!

I’m a community pharmacist who owns a couple of pharmacies in East Lothian.

 

[MarkF]

Ran my own businesses for decades, was lucky enough to sell the last one. Now winding down as a hospital porter, at least till the youngest is through uni.

Good.
I am over paid.
Nobody calls me, ever.
Clock out, then the time is mine.
I have no responsibilities.
Good workmates, laugh a good % of the day.

Bad.
The naked women are always the wrong ones.
I have to interact with long term institutionalised public sector bods.
Best intellectual debate I've in the porters duty room room was about who was the best singer in Take That.
