I struggle to explain what I do when anybody asks, it doesn't sound quite right to say that it depends on who's asking!

Re: What does everyone do?
 
I work for HM Government 3 days a week as I can't afford to retire yet on the meagre pension they'll give me after a total of 25 years service.

In my spare time (?) I garden and I grow plants (often bonsai them) from seeds of fruit that I eat and local trees. I am currently growing 2 little oak trees as bonsais in the garden and an orange tree and a pomegranate in the kitchen. I have a whopping great avocado tree, a passion fruit and a grapefruit tree in my porch.

What small part do you have? Maybe you have to wash all the toys at the end of filming. Or do you apply the lube?

Madhatter 21-05-2006 23:15

Re: What does everyone do?
 
I'm getting to old for my porn star work now, so I just drive a van delivering chemicals ammuntition and explosive. I used to be an electrician until the government decided the qualification doesn't say you are one but a blackmail payment to them does. All in the name of protecting the consumer, when the real cowboys just carry on regardless, but are now charging more. Maybe if I lose my licence I to will jump on my horse and join them.

Re: What does everyone do?
 
Some 15 years ago my heart forcefully reminded me that working 12 hours a day 6 days a week had to be cut down or else. Trying to drag up a teenage girl and boy as a single parent and living on the Roman Road Estate didn’t do me any favours. After which I was told to go home and rest – for the rest of my life. I sort of listened for a while until boredom got the better of me even though I got involved with the Amiga computer and I went to college part time for a couple of years just for the hell of it.

I got another reminder and that convinced me that I should arrange my life into a no stress mode. In a nutshell I got medically retired before my time and take all my pills like a good boy. Since then I get up when I have finished sleeping, eat when I’m feeling peckish and if that afternoon overwhelming tiredness creeps up on me I settle down in my recliner rocking chair and doze for a couple of hours. Otherwise I surf the world, like cashman, actually earning an honest crust or two plus very selective TV viewing. I am totally out of sync with the rest of the world except on Mondays being pension day.

I’ve also been sampling some of my old records (78’s, 45’s and LP’s) and putting them onto CD’s. I’m also a Moderator on the GoldenTalk forum and that can take up a lot of time.

Cashman – maybe you and me could swop notes on making a crust on the Internet. You never know I may have something going that could do you some good. On the other hand you could have the something for me. Please PM me if you are interested.

Gayle 22-05-2006 11:35

Re: What does everyone do?
 
Ok, I'll give it a go -

First and foremost I'm a Mum and a Wife. Then I'm mostly Marketing Officer of Mid Pennine Arts. However, that's not all - I work freelance and in some cases voluntarily for a number of other organisations; Hyndburn Women's Forum, Hyndburn Mela, Oswaldtwistle Players, a leading house building company and a local private school amongst others.

The reason why I was so evasive is because I kind of do different things for each organisation but broadly speaking it's marketing and event management.

I also organise one-off events and activities for organisations and groups depending on budget and requirements. I also help some organisations get funding for events but don't manage the projects, again sometimes for a fee but mostly for free.

And almost forgot - I write articles for a couple of business magazines. I don't and NEVER have worked for the Accrington Observer, although I used to submit a column I never got paid for it.

So that's why it depends who's asking. :D

As some of you may know from previous threads, I scrape a crust working for a divorce lawyer, specialising in divorces of the rich (and preferably famous). Other than that (which does occupy a large part of my life, sadly) I am partner to David and occasionally his clerk (when he needs one). I've cut back on other things - was a school governor for over 20 years at two schools, Chair at one (took over from another Accy girl, although it was in London!), co-ordinator of the local Neighbourhood Watch, Chair of my son's school parent-teacher association, Student Support Adviser for the London region of the Open University, and in my free time .......

Well I work within the NHS as an Qualified Ambulance Technician (soon to be re-named Emergency Medical Technician or EMT) QAT, with Lancashire Ambulance Service, which is just below the level of Paramedic. Have worked in the Ambulance Service since Nov 1987.


For my spare time I do a bit or gardening (weather permitting) surf 'tinernet and run the local division of St John Ambulance (with lots of help lol)

Retired, so I do whatever I feel like. Fish, golf, hike, canoe, play footy and do odd jobs around the complex. Look for good travel deals on the net, looking for a cheap flight to Mancester later in the year.

Madhatter 24-05-2006 16:08

Re: What does everyone do?
 
The labour party are in desperate need down here, but then so are all the parties, they all wanted me to join them at one time or another. Politics doesn't interest me at such a local level. It's town council, some of them are on the borough, but a lot aren't.

So as an investigator, does that mean you wear a raincoat & a brown trilby hat and stand on street corners all day, pretending to read a newpaper, but in reality keeping a beady eye on the building site opposite, ready to pounce on those dodgy characters working for cash & signing on?
