ack-ack Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Was a Baker and Confectioner for many years, moved into sales and business development, ended up getting companies out of the XXXX and making them profitable. Now retired. To me the most important jobs and the hardest but most rewarding are those looking after and supporting others less fortunate than ourselves, respect to you all. And the old joke (stolen from ack ack) I am a goverment artist, I draw the dole. No offence to those out of work, for what ever reason (Just for the record folks I've never been on the dole, I don't have issues with those that are its just not one for me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Albert Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Retired scholteacher. Got fed up with the way it was going, paper work more important than teaching the kids. Decided it was time to live my life as I wanted to NOT how some other XXXXXXX told me how to life it. Took early retirement and now split my time between golf and shooting. Clays, Pidgeons, targets, HFT. I don't care but can't stand to be sitting at home doing nowt for too long. HID will try to find me something else to do like cutting the hedge or painting the leaves on the trees in the garden. Life's a bitch but somebody's got to do it.

Woodcock Magnet Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I'm a shift pattern Aviation Technician in a blue chip carbon facility making carbon brakes for commercial and military aviation, But my heart has always been in the country way of life, I wished that I could have been a Farmer or Gamekeeper etc, or is the grass always greener on the other side of the fence?

I consider myself a lucky man. :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
