What do you do?

Is it fun/shit/easy/boring/banter/hard/sexually arousing/etc?

What would your ideal job be?

I'm a CSA at scumerfield in inverurie. It's banter, or at least it used to be. There've been some changes going on at the top which could very well reduce banter to insufficient levels for me to continue working there

As well as dream jobs I think we should include worst jobs we´ve ever had. Mine was probably working for Brown and Root in Dyce, I didn´t have a clue what I was doing, something clerical but I got fired after a fortnight!

My job now is a writer, I write plays for stage and radio, and occasionally a bit of telly, also nearly finished my first novel, set, naturally, in Aberdeen. I haven´t quite got the guts to give up the day job yet, which is writing programme info for the BBC website.

I am unemployed at the moment which sucks. i get £44 a week to live off, but have too much time on my hands. worst is, i am settling into a routine of it now.

My dream job i think would either be a reflexologist or a special effects make up artist, but both can be pretty pricey to train for so i am not willing to get myself into debt for it.

Hey! sainsburys isnt that bad if all the the managers love you and think you do loads of work but really dont and piss about and watch tv.
and also if you screw them over by refusing to sign a new conract and still get double time on a sunday.

ie. me,

it also really helps if you're not on checkouts, but hey!

Second!

Mel, I never knew you use to work there. Who was your manager?

I'm not sure what my dream job would be.
