What job do you do?

double glazing/ curtain walling installer. Hate glass with a passion 😀

Saxonrider – British Library?

Line Controller – London Underground.

Don’t like it!

I design mobile phone networks – if you make a 3G call in pretty much any West African capital, there’s a fair chance I’ll have designed (part of) the network it gets carried over…

Design and program fruit machines. Love it.

Love this job description. Got visions of some bloke making power drill noises as he moves his arms slowly towards a wall.

Think bigger drills, think 30,000 feet deep.

IT Director for an aerospace manufacturer. I quite enjoy my job actually.

Interesting – what software do you use thebrick ?

I what qualifications do you have ? Im thinking of going back to uni to do a masters in drilling or reservoir engineering

Surgical rep – I love the smell of burning flesh 😯

Soon to be ex- ITU nurse, going into Occ Health, woohoo no more nights, weekends or other peoples shit, piss or vomit – what’s not to like? Just doing my bit to bring the country further to its knees financially, I thank you.

Valleydaddy – I’m with you on the smell of burning flesh. It’s grand.

National Sales Manager for a well know bicycle distributor, you’ll never guess which one though.

I get to deal with you lot all day and somehow still seem to enjoy it 🙂

I’m yet another drain on the public purse!

I’m an ambulance technician, but one who rides a bike rather than driving the big yellow taxi 😆

💡 *runs off to Google “richie”* 💡

Its the companies software own, the main model is a mix of FORTRAN and C++ then some other stuff written in VB that some other developers deal with. I’m newish so only just getting to grips with it myself. Just been customising the some software for some clients. Even thought the model is largely written every operators rig operates slightly different with slightly different requirements.

I’m an applied mathematician, the other modellers are engineers or physicists. Pay is not the great tbh but prob just the firm I’m working for. Probably a bit different if you were working for an oil company as a reservoir engineer.

in the colder, rainy months (although it hasn’t rained here in Munich for six weeks now) i work as a carpenter knocking together sets for large events and/or trade fairs in far off cities; last month Copenhagen, last week Milan and Vienna, this week Vienna again, week after next Stuttgart, Düsseldorf and then back home in Munich.

in the summer months i work as a bike guide and luggage driver. one week riding my bike with a group, the next after driving a van for 2-3 hours and then hitting the hills on my own for 4-6 hours. it doesn’t pay as well as the chippying, but it takes me to some fantastic spots and the van driving is like being on holiday most of the time.

the two compliment each other nicely as the events and trade fairs trail off towards summer and start again around september time just as the (holiday) biking season comes to a close.

life is ok.

Disaster Manager – can be fun – can be boring – generally rewarding!

A&E nurse, love it 🙂

disben – how is cressers these days?

I try and stop people from needing the yellow taxis and keep them away from hospital…. coz they only arse it up in there… 😉

Public sector lay about apparently 🙂

Former bricklayer (best avoided in the current climate) and currently FE construction Lecturer and NVQ assessor.

idave – cressers…?

sorry, cressers was a former STW regular who was basically the resident merchant of all things doom, gloom and disaster

ah – dont know him – no I am an emergency planner – we think doom, gloom and disaster all day long. Hopefully we never get to respond but unfortunately we do (7 hr response to a fire yesterday)

Researcher / Government advisor (not that they listen mind …)

Trying to stop some people needing the services of the likes of Stoatsbrother!

Oh, and obviously another layabout that’s draining the public purse and bringing the country to it’s knees 😉

Full time student, part time call centre operator and part time pyrotechnician

I put potential drugs in people. Used to be a Rocket Scientist(TM) until I discovered Biology (at 24). Now I’m a Clinical Pharmacologist.

rwc03 drop me a line if you can do maths and I’m happy to give some suggestions.

I’m a Reward Specialist for a professional services company.
I advise companies on exec and broad based pay and reward issues including salaries, incentive schemes, grading, benefits, performance management, etc.

Neonatal nursing. Best people on earth to work with/for.
Was a roofer before that.
Better conversation with the babies. 😛

I’ve been doing my current job and I still not entirely sure what I do 😐
Still it pays well

I work well over 90 hours per week in the medical profession.
Apparently that makes me innefficient and unbalanced going on recent posts around here.
I have a beautiful girlfriend 15 years younger than me and ride trails when I want which is my passion.
I’m happier than most people I know despite my shortfalls.

IT bod in the Public Sector. No 90 hours per week for me though. George Osborne can’t afford the overtime.

I’d rather build bicyle wheels.

Teacher.

I used to be a geinacologist then became a bricklayer, still do a bit of the medical stuff, just to keep my hand in.

Airline Captain but the job bears zero resemblance to the public’s perception of it! I don’t earn megabucks, work insane hours and am treated like dirt by my airline (standard) but it does allow me to live in northern Scotland and ride my bike several times a week. So on balance it was worth the 10 years of financial and emotional misery.
Would I recommend it to you………….NO!

An awesome job all the same.

Last four jobs including my current one:

Commissioning Manager for services for children with disabilities
Operations Manager for a charity supporting people with autism
Vocational Instructor for children and young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties
Lead Roofer

IT Support Manager

You know those massive IT cock-up projects that squander millions of public pounds? I work on those.

Actually that’s not really fair, I’ve worked on one that was actually a success eventually, and one that was terrible and I am expecting to hit the news at some point.
MrsT was involved with a project along those lines. She came into it late and was advising at the time that what they were trying to do would and could not work. It finally hit the headlines 🙄
