do u enjoy your job? wat wud ur ideal job be?

[Headfry]

YES.... I love my job as a receptionist but it can be mega lonely. I work in a lovely glass 2 storey modern 'factory' with huge patio doors on all floors, in the summer it's heaven as the whole building seems to open up! We are surrounded by mature trees even some espalier apples on the old stone walls. we are lucky to have grounds at the back, including our football pitch. we get deer, woodpeckers, loads of wild life...heaven for me!
My reception is big and airy! On a busy day it is fab fun!

Ideal job....saving the country side!

Today I am 60. In 1983 I was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder, sort of leukaemia in reverse and given 5 years so every day is a bonus.

Happy birthday Tony! Long may you continue to prove them wrong!

Tony,

Happy birthday!

Keep up the posts on what you do each day - they're the best part of the whole forum!!! They keep those of us stuck in offices in Blighty dreaming...

I'm a stay at home mum to my four children (9,7,5 and almost 2) and I love it more than anything else I've ever done! I've got a degree and a professional qualification and fully expected to be a full time working mum relying on nannies and nurseries but after a couple of unexpected turns of events, here I am and I can't imagine it any other way now!

Its so interesting to see what other people do in as a job!

How nice that we are all so diverse, and spread out, but we have been able to find a common interest and talk about that (amongst other things!!)

Tony.....many happy returns!

[Mrs Dobby]

Happy Birthday Tony, may there be many, many, many more harvest for you yet our friend!

[Earthbabe]

Happy Birthday or rather Bonne Anniversaire et Felicitations from me too.

Interesting Stuff!

I'm a "Consultant" - a techy/financy one. I drive/fly for hours every day to help people with their financial software all over the country and sometimes Europe. It's actually more fun than it sounds (sometimes), but give it a couple more years and it will have run me into the ground - so not sure its a career-long option.

The main downfall is trusting the garden watering to my husband while I'm away - he's not a gardener - he'd rather we didnt have a garden at all!

Ideal job - retirement! And I still have about 30 years to go!

[moggssue]

Sorry, how remiss of me - a very happy birthday Tony!!! And many many more to come ...!!

[OverWyreGrower]

Happy Birthday Tony! (And lots more to come!)

Used to be a Long Distance lorry driver. Got to see all of Europe and into Russia and as far south as Turkey.It was a great job and I really liked it as I was pretty much left to my own devices as long as the loads got where they had to go when they had to be there.But as a married man 3-4 months at a time away from home wasn't the best recipie for a good marriage.Gave up the long distance and started to just do UK only work.The stress nearly killed me and the doctors told me to get out or I wouldn't live another two years. Not really much choice then - got out and looked round for a job . One was advertised in the paper for a Groundsman / Gardener in a local school so I thought" Why not?".Best decision I ever made. Although from a farming background I dont know a lot about plants but have managed not to kill to many - so far.. I now have time for my family and time for myself as well.
And the odd hour to spend here as well bringing my own brand of humour to you all wether you want it or not

P.s Happy birthday Tony.
Its my Tenth wedding aniversary today so I must go and enjoy myself. I think I deserve to - dont you?
