So what does everyone do for a living?

[CALLAKN]

As little as possible..... however when really pushed a bit of helicopter fettling..

Consulting Electrical Engineer - resulting in much UK travel. Every job comes with some form of tedium though so I'm not complaining.

I’ll know them or they’ll know me or somebody else there. It’s a small world in the helicopter sphere. + 25 years at Humberside and the b@stards fly over my house on finals.

Gave up being a management consultant aged 48 and now spend most of my time working in our local garden centre and plant nursery. Best thing I ever did, zero stress, out in the fresh air and I have a life again.

[Insert Coin]

Pretty boring compared to most on here, family business, dad retired so just me and my bro, private landlord, 3000 tenants and 115 staff, 50+ vans.

I run the maintenance department, there's never a day goes by when you don't think 'how are people that stupid?!?'

Tenant - "Hi, there's a spider in my flat, please can you send somebody around asap?" Landlord - "No!"
Tenant - "Hi, my boiler isn't working, can you send an engineer?" Landlord - "Have you got any gas credit? before we send somebody" Tenant - "No gas credit, does it matter?"
Tenant - "Hi, there's something wrong with your electrics, when I plug my kettle in the trip switch blows" Landlord - "It's your kettle" Tenant - "No it's not!"
Tenant - "Hi, I have really bad damp and mould, it's against my human rights to live like this" Landlord - "It's a new-build flat, when we visited you had every window shut, tumble dryer sat in the hallway, wet clothes on the rads etc"

*bangs head against brick wall*

After 25 years at it, I can assure you its not that appealing anymore

Ditto, I did 25 years as Ch Mechanic on marine seismic survey ships, not many quiet shifts and never any boring days but I chucked it in and retired. Catching up with lost sleep.
