Currently I just mince about for a living...

I should be an AV/Warehouse Technician - I test equipment in off hire, PAT test it, get it ready to go out, then sometimes when I'm allowed out on day release, set it up at the venue.

Well i can trump all of you, ive got one of the most glamorous jobs going........

















.......not really, I collect medical waste and dog shit. Yummy.

Hopefully gonna be handing my notice in soon though, and going back to building for a company called W.S. Wright, who maintain and renovate pubs/clubs all around the south-east of england.

Having said that I collect medical waste, i guess i mean that my teammate gets the good job, and i do the driving. lol

I trained for 3 years and qualified as a mechanic..

I work at Adrian Flux in the specialist vehicles department so I insure anything thats not the every day run of the mill car, & anything modified really!


EDIT before i get 6000 pm's asking for cheap insurance.. no i cant get amazing discounts or free insurance for people, i can quote you but it'll be the same price anyone else from flux will quote you! If you say you are a member of 306 owners club you will get a discount though! Smile

Currently I'm a delivery driver at Pizza Hut, get to drive my car about and get paid for it so could be worse.

Did Software Development at college and done desktop support in the past, trying to get back into IT. Once I'm back from my holiday going to start applying for other things as fed up of what I'm doing now.
