What do you do for a living?

[Headgardener]

Hi all. The porter at a small cottage hospital within the biggest employer in the country. Been there twenty years this November but as I have no formal qualifications and I can't drive it's likley I shall see my retirement in just over eleven years out there.

Got my own company designing and manufacturing outdoor clothing. The most interesting bit is working with Polar expeditions. The most frustrating bit is that they never give enough time for us to equip them, so it's always last minute panics. But it's what we do and it's mostly fun.

 

[Monkey Boy]

Materials and Corrosion Engineer (Senior, like Fnaar!) with an oil and gas major. Get to travel all over the world telling people how to fix things.....Oh, you dont want to install one of those plasticicky thingumybobers...you need this metal dooberywotsit. Has it's moments when I'd love to shove a pick axe down someone's spinal colum, but generally I love it. I've held the opinion for several years now that 'if you don't like doing it, go and do somefink else'.....seems to have worked so far.

At the moment I am getting paid to sing to an imaginary monkey.

If pushed I would say "erm. . . . Prototyping Technician", if pushed again to explain what that means I normally say "erm . . . .we fanny about with silicon and plastic and stuff".

Sometimes a better explanation is forthcoming but it's unneccesary.

Is that the Leeson house I remember?

I work in a record company putting together compilations.

Brain-dead, badly paid, definitely not all it's cracked up to be.

So I'm leaving next year to do a PCGE. Woo!

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.
