Because when all around you is falling to pieces, your life sucks, you get voted by your High School PTA as the least likely to succeed in life (with your parents casting the deciding vote), your TGF has run off with your life savings and you can't take any more of the hand that our dear Lord dealt you, it is important to check out on a sunny day. Absolutely! |

Drowning was the least of his worries. I was just wondering if he managed a triple twist piked backflip with a perfect entry. |

I knock people over the head with a mallet then try to wake them up and give them a cup of tea and send them packing in agony. My other job is beer taster in Bangkok. And a part time quizmaster |

Teacher to a bunch of mostly well behaved first graders- been teaching for 10 years now and don't see myself doing any other job. Before I went to uni and stuff and just did any odd temp job going from cleaning to random office jobs. Never again, hopefully.

I'll be about, report cards need to be done and I need some distraction  Random jobs that I have held and thoughts on them Street Cleaner: Oddly enough I actually really enjoyed this job, the mean streets of Norwich are pretty sedate and the job started at sunrise.Lovely in summer, chilled out boss and plenty of breaks in parks permitted Amazon Picker: It's as shit as the media make out, just horrible. Paid the bills but turned me into a depressed zombie like character Catering assistant: Worked in the Anglia Ruskin (University IN Cambridge) canteen. A real laugh, fun bunch of folks to work with and some wild after work parties made for a decent way to make some cash at uni Fryer for Dave's Fish and Chip Shop of Sheringham: Ah, Dave and his Chip Shop mafia. He had the voice of a eunuch and the temper of enraged boxer. Hilarious to set up situations where he would lose it and start randomly abusing staff with illogical homophobic and racist abuse. Model Village "Entertainer"- the only job I got sacked from and almost beaten up at. I accidentally trod on a caboose and all hell broke loose. Suggested he electrify his model steam railway, this made matters much, much worse. |

It's those varied menial and unpleasant tasks along with other more mundane tasks one ends up doing that help to make excellent teachers. The theory of life is wonderful but the hands on (ye gods my hands are dirty, my body aches and I stink) is the finishing school of a professional life in all professions or work. Hands on experiences lead to innovation when confronted with a problem or problems.   |

"Accidentally" eh?
We've dealt with your type before.
Nasty horrible man.

I started off in systems/networks and moved through project management into Big 4 management consultancy, then on to mobile company start-ups - retired since 2004 with just a couple of consulting assignments since.
Oh, and I did some M&A/strat-up also, Iveco/Ford was one of mine, Nationwide was nearly one but it died.

My worst job was super glueing rubber grommits onto Ford brake lines.

So any Ford drivers out there who's brakes failed I'm sorry. Cnut of a job it was.

^^just occured to me why it was mainly Asians doing that job. It's their little slanty eyes. Great for squinting which was my problem.
