    I'm a builder :D its pretty rubbish work but it is a family business and I'm one of those people that just cant be in the same place or do the same thing every day, so I do really enjoy it most of the time, today was a wonderful day spent out in the winter sunshine. :D

    Re: Sooo... What do you do for a living?

    Currently "retired" (my girlfriend hates it when I say that :lol: ). Up until October last year I co-owned an IT training company in the UK specialising in creating and delivering training on a particular Microsoft product. I was away from home for 75% of the year, working pretty much 24/7, teaching during the day, writing courseware and dealing with management issues in the evening and travelling at weekends. In the end I absolutely hated it, so I sold my half of the company and I'm now trying to sell the house so that I can move from the midlands to Plymouth and I'll setup something else. As yet, what that will be I've no idea but hopefully something involving photography.

    Re: Sooo... What do you do for a living?

    I'm a chartered accountant but my job title is Business Support and Development. Its an odd mix of sitting on the Boards of operating companies as head office representative, befriending and spying on local management, challenging any proposal they come up with to spend shareholder money and generally being a pain the arse in the nicest possible way. I'm good at it.

    May I be considered for employment as a Yeoman guard of the Bullingdon club? And thank you for the reminder
    of my lowly rank. Gawd bless you Sir.
