I am an ex groundsman, used to work for a local tersary instution. Loved the job, outside away from the BS
Forced to Resign because of ill health CFS (chronic fatigue) now consider myself a professional rester. hate it.
Spend a lot of time looking at my tools in frustraton, but I still get to do some small jobs from time to time

What a long thread

I'm a project manager with a medium sized construction company.

Very good job, with lots of contact with others and heaps of variation but you have to be firm on yourself ti p*ss off out the door at a reasonable time, as there is 'always something else to do' I try my best to limit the Boss' time to 45hrs, no weekends either unless extroadinary activities require this.

A large rural block near the 'mediterreanian of the NW coast' - Port Sorell - and two pre-schoolers leave little time for the 'passion', but I get out there a couple of weeknights, and sometimes a WHOLE afternoon. Nearly finished a 2.4m long hardwood WORKBENCH, and will be into furniture SOON.

Great to hear about all of you lot - what a nice bunch!

Do you have a deer stalker hat and a big curly pipe?

Come up and see me some time, big boy.

1. Ministerial adviser

2. Most of the time - except when the hits the fan

3. Hours suck and the complete lack of flexibility. $$ are good, but not enough for the terrible hours (sometimes before 8 til after midnight). It is exciting though...

Do you mean to say that ministers really do have advisers? I thought that was a myth created by them so that they'd have someone to cast the blame on.

Watch it Toggy, I won't hesitate to give you an attitude adjustment. :eek:

the amount of ministers who are in trouble for sexual infringements, it's no wonder they need advisors.

I used to know a bloke whose business card said he was (no kidding!) an Erection Advisor.

He was employed by a company who sent him around to construction sites to advise people on how to erect their modular panel products.

I merely record these things, I don't make them up.

I can see this thread straying a little here AT LAST!!!

A mate of mine is a Gynocologist who had a near identical set of cards printed for handing out to supects at the Yacht club etc.

Only difference between the realones and the dummies was the motto:

"It's a pleasure to be at your cervix".

He got rid of them after he discovered his receptionist had found his stash, and for some months had them displayed on his reception counter.

:eek:
