A bit like djaustin,I like experiments .
I gather data from STW ,I then use some of the more interesting internet character profiles on herds of mice .
The mice are confined to a small village that I built,but they do have some trips out to an exercise yard.
They seem to argue a lot,mostly about the choice of equipment that is available in the yard or why their deluxe cheese is taking so long to be delivered. Sadly,there has been a few fights over missing cheese portions ,but I am almost finished a new super profile that should fix things. I love science 8)
Self employed Chippy......not the deep fat fried type 😆

I'm a Product Manager for a large American Chemical Company. If you brush your teeth, there's a fair bet you've had some of my thick creamy liquid in your mouth this morning.
But; I'm open to offers because since we were taken over a year ago they've driven me mental with ridciulous levels of beaurecracy and internal politics. Employment consultants working in the science / technical / chemical industries - mail me......
I'm a fire engine or a motorbike or a cowboy or a astronot.
sounds like a cyst up ya bum!analyst
I run a small (the company not the speakers!) loudspeaker manufacturing company.
During the day - Sleep, I work nights.

Drive being a silly description cause we have to keep in the same spot. The details are boring (HA!)
when jen asks what the people she'll be working with are like... well, that's me.
Data Engineer for Rolls Royce, good job most of the time, but long hours lately, so getting less and less bike time
I am a Contact Centre Systems designer / systems intergation specialist...... "press one for this, press two for that" 🙂 I love my job, like a massive train set to play with every day 😀
scottyjohn- i'm headed that way too. currently getting to grips with an avaya switch, everything from patching/installing phones through to writing/modifying vectors. it's pretty fun, to be fair!
I used to repossess people's houses (as a last resort...), now in internal Security & Fraud for a large financial organisation.
Workshops manager and part time precision engineer based in Mk, we act as an overflow for the current f1 constructors champions doing the nasty bits they haven't got time to mess with, also machine composite engine parts for the biggest engine builder in brixworth and a few other teams, also make commercial bits for satellites, bits and pieces for the government and its agencies etc etc,
Long hrs especially as we are at RB's beckoning call , why do they always call at 530 on a Friday ?
I hate hardened Ti it doesn't do as its told,
On the plus side I do get to go to the factory 3-4 times a week and today got to see the new reception and the new trophy cabinet, I went back to my car to get my phone and got some pictures,

I'm a physio student who happens to have a job providing physio (under supervision) to an elite sports squad. Most physio people are desperate for a job in elite sport but never get there. I on the other hand appear to have stumbled into such a job without trying or even wanting to work in that field (it's not exactly top of my list as I prefer working with older people), but I wont knock the work back.
I do bikes.
Details are boring, bike's and bike bits aren't.
Then after they day, it's bikes.
Bikes, eh!?

Yep, I should've done this 20 yrs ago instead of working in filthy garages as a mechanic then back to uni for mech/electronic engineering degree which was the biggest waste of 4 yrs of my life in my mid 20's and various crap jobs since, dunno why i didn't take another mate up his bike shop offer years ago as there ain't more to life than working on nice bikes, drinking decent coffee and chatting bout bikes n' stuff wi appreciative customers who bring us cakes and invite us to the local brewery after work for the occasional beer - what's not to like?....Oh!...and i get to buy shiny bike parts at cost price - result!. 😀
Holysht somafunk, glad I'm on the right "incentivised" bandwagon.
Bein 25 and that, all I see is bikes and melted a "promised future" in fashion retail to play with bikes and bits and people who like bikes and bits.
I wish the people with power in industry & business rewarded promise and passion rather than...well, whatever it is that's valued at the business end of my livlihood but being poor and happy is a bitter joy.
I've never been a brickie! Ish
I work in one of the most hated sectors in the UK. No, not baking, or government. Yes, utilities. On the Smart metering programme, for one of the big suppliers.
I work with High Risk Offenders in the community. Not always easy.
I work in water treatment, worked all over the UK now in South Florida having to build and commission a desalination plant, drawing water from 1800ft deep wells, using reverse osmosis to separate the drinking water, treating this to send out to the clients network before sending the waste (brine) down some 4000ft deep wells. We can 'make' up to 100 million liters a day, all you lot cleaning your bikes need a lot of water!
i built the internet.
we i did for a while build data networks (or rather organised the people that did the joining together to join it together in the right order)
now i build networks so people can place bets on the internet
10/1 i'll change jobs soon(ish)
I'm titled as an engineering geologist but I do a bit of everything.
Rock testing, some shallow drilling, report writing and desk studies, water sampling, concrete coring and testing, compaction testing.
I like drilling the most, having a hard days graft in the sun and a cold beer at the end of it is great, but working away from home isn't so much and depending on the drilling it's physically tough, generally not paid that well and when in the uk the conditions are crap due to the weather!
Work in security. Just got back from a night shift monitoring all the drunks via CCTV in a strip club 😀
This is genuinely my job. Pays damn good too.
I move other people helping them to move themselves.
I repair the Scanners and X-ray machines that are required when you lot run out of talent. If you have had a big stack between the Borders and Leeds you may have been through one of mine.
I'm an Instrument/Systems tech on a North Sea gas platform (and sometimes some it's smaller neighbours)
I've worked all the way from my front door to the point where I can't go any further upstream without a wetsuit.
