What job do you do for a living ?
 
Being the nosey old bag that I am, I thought that I would ask you all if you would mind sharing with us all what you do for a living when you are not out being budding WSB racers !


Me... Well I am just a humble auxilliary nurse / phlebotomist working with the District and Practice Nurses at a local medical centre !

:)

Redsps 20-Sep-2004 19:24

OK, I'll go first then.
Run my own computer/IT business mainly in the storage networks/devices market, but maintainance and repairs aswell.
Keeps me in dukes and parts.


PS, I hate computers, they are a total pain in the bum.

cheers
Robin

That's a first :devil:
An accountant trying to add excitement!

Ok, I'm sure the sh*t will start to fly now but I'm on the verge of becoming a trainee solicitor. That means:
low pay
long hours
no guarantee of a job after years of study and humiliation from employers who treat contracts like gold dust

However, in my previous, single motherhood life when I needed to earn money to support my very expensive daughters, I was .... wait for it ... that other scummy profession An IFA. (that's Independent Financial Adviser to the uninitiated)

I sure can pick those careers, can't I?
Any other solicitors out there with some good experiences to share?
(no, thought not) :devil::devil::devil:

Have been known to help out doing the medic cover at Mallory where my mate Paul has the contract. It is always good to keep your hand in with trauma as we don't get much offshore....mostly just industrial injuries, fingers, toes and eyes.

I work 2 weeks on 2 weeks off, then 2 weeks on 4 weeks off........

Not a bad life:lol: beats the Forces which has gone seriously down the pan
