Could be worse, although obviously it could be so much better.

The problem is that I yearn for a physical job.

I pay all this money on going to the gym 3 times a week when your average fireman keeps his fitness up for free.

One of the best jobs I ever had was a summer job working on an estate for a country manor house, I used to race about on a quad, chopping things with chainsaws and building damns with sandbags. I was finished by half 3 each day and the boss bought us lunch in the local pub at noon every day.

Cash in hand, sun was always out. Those were the days. And I slept soundly too

Me & a mate did the same for a millionaire with a bad back.

He had a couple of quads to hack round his woods, clearing stuff with our chainsaws & building bonfires - He also had a Kawasaki GPZ 1000 which he'd take us out at 150Mph down the A22 - scared the living crap out of me. Always supplied beers & lunch too.

:clap:

any job has its ups and downs, mines better than lots I guess, but the moneys not up to much, I get a decent car and a free phone. . . .I also work 3 miles from home which gives me plenty of time for my hobby job, which will hopefully one day make me a small retirement income to keep us in food and beer !

I f***ing LOVE my job.

Nowhere in the world is there a job like it.

I get loads of money to spend,hardly work any hours and i get a roof over my head and 3 lovely meals a day for FREE.

I have access to some of the best sport and lesiure facilities for free and get to travel all over the world for free.

And theres a constant supply of women wanting to be shagged!!

It does get a bit shit when a war kicks off though.....

Right then, where's my application?:p
 


I was an apprentice.Four years learning a trade,which now have turned into my own business.Nothing beats being your own boss but you have to earn it and more importantly respect it.Trying to make this new avatar is a job for me.I have to hire an it specialist.
Good luck in plumbing that is a solid choice.The trades are the greatest job demand in the world,get out there,kick arse,take numbers and live damn it live.

I agree defrocked priest, unfortunately for me I learnt one of the few true trades to die out, Draughtsmen are a dieing breed, I used to enjoy drawing by hand, transfered to computers (boring and ununspiring) fortunately through design and project management I've moved on, almost left engineering behind, although you'll find me doing my own at home as I don't get the 'fix' from work any more !

strangely I thought a trade was good and draughting would be better than a manual trade . .how wrong I was, Carpenters, plummers and good builders are permanently in short supply these days

Love my job - keeps me so busy I often wonder where the day went!

The only downside is that after a vvv busy day I now have to spend a lot of my own time putting together lots of documents/evidence to prove that I am worth the pay rise they are wanting to give me! I did ask why they couldnt just give me the money as I am doing the job but they said the top bods need evidence :glare:
