What job do you do?

[Portpatrick]

Until the end of June I was a Management Accountant.  But at that point I jumped ship.  A voluntary severance package was available.  I took the hint and applied.  The application was accepted.  Not sure that gentleman of liesure applies.  Others will form their view on gentleman.  As for leisure, with 3 grandchildren to date, all under 4 years..............  The 2 boys (nearly 4 yrs, and 18 months) are certainly keen on trains at present, so I am doing something right.

I love that bus - is it a 1968 AEC Routemaster.   If I can't own a Western, one of those would be fantastic.

Yep, spot on ! It's an RML (Route master long) and this one has history... It was in the film 'Notting Hill' !

Very cool.  

p.s. You are up late!

I had late starts all week, so I can get away with a few late ones.

I'm retired! Officially.

Unofficially in the last ten years, apart from all the heavy work of foundations, concreting and the roof, we have built our own home here in Varna. Did all the plumbing and electrical work, tiling, some plastering, painting, and wooden block floors, built all the wardrobes and the kitchen units and just about everything else needed to put a home together. Having sacked a multitude of 'master craftsmen' we decided we could do a better job, even if it was to take a bit longer.

Vania now concentrates on the garden, and I concentrate on not doing much, age has its benefits.

Previously 23 years in the Royal Air Force, then supervisor in a security company, packed frozen turkeys in between jobs, taxi driver, IT network administrator, Lotus Notes developer.

You've probably cut me up in that thing when I've been taking my missus to work at RUH 

As for me I spent 12 years in RAF after I left school, started as an LMechTC ended up as an LTechTC, and thanks to the Berlin wall coming down couldn't get signed on past 12 years 

Then worked for a company called Mason Communications in Manchester as a Survey Officer, doing site surveys for Cellnet (as it was then). Left after a year to get into the IT Industry in the M4 Corridor (What a mistake that was!!!!!) ended up working for 3 major players without moving desk over the next 10 years, Digital Equipment, Compaq and HP. After the HP ahem!! 'Merger' decided to take the money and run when it was offered.

Decided I wanted to be a lorry driver, to destress. So took my Class 2 and spent the next 15 months driving trucks, absolutely loved it, brilliant job. Then the missus said "redundancy moneys all gone!!!". So am now a Field Service Engineer, looking after Emergency Service Radios (Tetra) and Command & Control Systems (ICCS), which combines everything I've done over the last 25 years since I left school.

Regards

Neal.

[Claude Dreyfus]

I'm about to change my job...handed my resignation in yesterday, and due to move during the middle of October. This time I will be a proper commuter - my new company is an insurance company in the City of London, so it's the half-seven train from my local station to London Bridge and then join the throng of commuters crossing the bridge into the City.

Exciting times... A new challenge (I am joining the Global Operations team) as well as a promotion and pay rise!

There is one picture in your layout thread at http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=1958.msg20572#msg20572, are you trying to upload more to that thread?  just wondered as this is the "What job do you do " thread.
