I did like my job I have been in the knitting trade since I was 18 working and mending the machines I have worked on some really brilliant old machines all belts and chains they used to make a brilliant noise as they ran with a real rhythm to them just like a steel heart beat. I am being finished in just over a week. It’s sad the knitting trade is dead so at 41 I have to find something that I will want to do for many years to come. So one more step into the unknown.  :?  :(

I love my job, I’m a Network Administrator for a satellite tracking and communications company.
 We get some interesting contracts, many in the Middle East and Africa.

We have just been brought out, the new company already has several network administrators so there is a chance I might lose my job when we merge. :cry:

I love my job too.  I'm in the workshop one day, out on site the next.  I love dealing with customers and making sure that they get exactly what they want, within construction restraints that is.

Coach driving for 13 years. Has its downsides - long hours :cry: . Has its up sides - cheap beer and ciggies from over the pond :wink: get to see places I'd never even dreamed of going to, and full use of workshop and tools for Landy maintenance 8)

I'm getting to the point of hating my job.

Drunks, Junkies (how can I forget them :lol: ), Psychiatric patients, attempted suicides, etc.............
Being bled on, puked on, walking into a cubicle & finding the occupant peeing in the corner :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

Little old ladies with broken Femurs, RTA's, 'knock-downs'.

After all this time since asking , I still haven't got off my bum & organised any LGV test training

The most interesting job that I have ever done was mining for gold in a little mine outside Dolgellau in Wales.
Yes a real life Welsh Gold Miner! Not many of us left these days.

The mines have been shut for a number of years now.
One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.
