feeble! Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marillionboy Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 As well as dream jobs I think we should include worst jobs weve ever had. Mine was probably working for Brown and Root in Dyce, I didnt 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 havent quite got the guts to give up the day job yet, which is writing programme info for the BBC website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 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.

boss Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 dream job is owning my own clothing/make-up/shoe line ooh snap. although i'd be happy with my own wee shop full of beautiful wares catering for the eclectic lady-about-town. it'd have leopard print wallpaper, a polka dot carpet, and i probably wouldn't let anyone buy anything because i'd like it all too much. im thinking maybe ten years of being a doctor and stringent saving and ill have some capital perhaps. or maybe i'll be dead. it's a game of chance.
