Marc Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I dont think anyone has posted this yet, so thought it would make a good thread. What do you do for a living /job ? Personally I write automated reports which gather information from the companies databases and summarise it for analysis. I have also been developing purchase order processing systems for the company that I work for over the past 6 month. I write T-Sql and Visual Basic at work mainly, as well as a lot of business analysis work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siberian_wolf Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I work for my partners business as an office assisstant (Hense why Im usually always online here, lol). Partners owns his own vehicle training school. We teach cars, car and trailer, bikes, lorries and forklift at the moment and hopefully expanding to boat and helecopter lessons aswell in the coming years. My partner is the owner and also motorbike instructor and car and trailer instructor and his dad does the whole lot and is currently training Jamie to become an instructor for lorries and forklift. Hopefully I will become a bike instructor in the next couple of years but I haven't been riding, on a full licence, long enough yet (I refuse to be a car instructor!). Jamies mum, Edwina, also works in the office and deals with the money side of things. I just take bookings, but I really don't like it as it can be very boring!!!! Technically Im an animal carer as thats what I did in college. I was going to go to uni to study Herpetology but a few things got in the way (and I didn't fancy living in America for 3 years!). also Im mum to 3 huskies which I spend alot my time walking them and keeping the occupied. usually if im not online, it means Im at home with the dogs.

raindog Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Being indescribably ancient, I took early retirement last year after 35 years as a youth worker in local authorities. Most of that time I was a detached worker, working with junkies, gang members etc etc on the streets. I was also Senior Trainer for the Youth Service and an Associate Lecturer at Brunel University. I loved it, but a few years ago, I was kicked upstairs to Senior Management where I had to sit behind a desk and be politically correct. I hated it and got out at the earliest opportunity. Now I work full time with the dogs and with SHWA(UK) of which I am National Secretary, Webmaster and a founder member. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest moe Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Up to 3 years ago I was a partner in a construction company(hubby was the other partner lol) after having the business for 28 years we decided to have a change, closed the business down, and Hubby went back to lecturing (he did this many years ago) in construction, and I went working for a local large dog rescue center, I originally worked in the reception area, but found that people dumping their dogs on the home on a regular basis was getting to me, so I applied for a different job in the home as financial assistant in the fundraisning department, this works a lot better for me, plus I can take my dogs to work woo wooo.

Austinville Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'm a reporter/writer for a newspaper in a small rural community. I write everything from obituaries and anniversaries to feature stories. I also work on the ads, take care of subscriptions, do postal reports, and take care of the counter. I only work part time, so it leaves plenty of time to be pushed around by my loving blue-eyed boy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
