What you do for a living

[Simon73]

Just curious I was wondering what you guys do, which job you have (if you have one) or what you did in the past? regular, irregular jobs and contracts? how is the situation?

My background is in learning disability nursing.  I teach it now.  Love it; it's my life's work

Nothing at the moment and, wow, is it a bad scenario.  Worked for the NHS for ten years, got laid off thanks to Tory bastard cutbacks, been temping since then, on and off, had certain health problems after that which meant I couldn't take on a sweet new job that I had lined up.  After that, ****-all.  Applied for so many jobs.  But nobody wants to employ a mid-forties loser with health problems.

I last had a period of extended unemployment back in the 90's and I can honestly say that jobs paid better money a couple of decades ago.  I mean in REAL terms, not adjusted for inflation.  I've applied for government contract jobs, in important fields, that paid minimum wage.  Fuckin' BS.

Blimey, I'm ranting again.  Didn't mean to bother you again with this stuff.  Sorry.

Hang in there Ray, sending strength xxx

Cheers, Sheena.  Just needed to blow off a bit of steam.  My usual silly-bollocks posts will resume shortly.

No. Not really.

[Master Ray]

Well, the worst job I ever had.... (be warned, potentially offensive, but you gotta love Derek and Clive...)

I'm a quality controller for a well known supermarket at one of their warehouses and have been for the past 19 years.  I no I'm lucky to have a job that pays quite well in comparison to what is available nowadays, but I f****** hate it with a passion purely because of the boredom factor.  I also deliver takeaways for a Chinese takeaway and a Indian Restaurant which I enjoy and is a pretty good source for a second income.

I work for a forwarding agency, the overseas shipping department. I joined the company as an apprentice in 1988 and have worked in all departments, have been in this one now for a couple of years.
It sounds like a potentially interesting job and it can be - but due to circumstances here I am really bored and am working far below my capacities - which is bad as it also leads to me losing interest in things.

Thing is - I can't really afford the risk of trying for a new job - even if I were to find one, which is not easy, given my age - and this one is certainly as safe as a job can be these days.

Sit behind a computer all day. Really need to find something else.

I'm a Purser in an airline company.I fly mostly to Japan as I'm a japanese speaker.It's my 11th year in the company but it's not a job you can stick to.Always under risk of being unemployeed next day.

Be nice if someone did a job they enjoyed and felt fulfilled in 

[Pol]

I enjoy my job, yes it might sound shit, but there are lots of pluses no travelling, no one else there when I am , do a decent job and go home give the boss nothing to moan about. Can start when I want as long as I'm done for about 2pm . Wouldn't say I'm fulfilled but I'm done a lot more skilled jobs before n I definitely wasn't any happier
