what's your job?

[yankeedoodle 0]

been doing my current job as a shop assistant now for nearly 4 years.worked my way up to assistant manager, but now they're making cutbacks and making people redundant.

even if I manage to keep my job, its gonna be much less enjoyable and harder going with less staff. so its time to consider something new I think

what to you guys do for a living? and do you enjoy it? maybe i can find some inspiration from your replies

Self employed-got a small embroidery business with my wife, although we've kinda made her redundant. Sold one of the machines last month. I'm a textile machine service engineer by trade, but of course the arse has gone out of that too. I'm off to an employment agency tomorrow to try & get a crappy labourer/packer job on nights to hopefully pick up a bit more cash. Lean times ahead for all of us yet I fear.

I am now a vehicle glass technician. Seemes to be a pretty good job. Just finished my last day training today so off on my own tomorrow once I've picked up my kit. You can have a good laugh and you get to meet some nice people too, especially alot of tasty women . There is always work to do because of people getting chips and cracks on our crappy british roads.
I did have to do a job in a sewerage works today though. It absolutely stunk and the bloke there decided to start a conversation about shit .

the problem with couriers as that most of them want you to have previous multidrop experience. the thing is, how are you meant to get experience if no-one will take you on?

[Hawkster 0]

about the only way is to take one of the shit multidrop firms that cant keep any works or i started in a ware house then started covering for drivers when they did not turn up by van as no one wants to go out blind on a run at last min so that the time to step forward
