What do you do?

Agree, felt like I was on the verge of being made redundant just last week.

I now no its not what I really want to do and there are other things out there

Really thats bad, glad you didn't though

i was at college so i got a job in M&S part time, finished college and just kept my job and took up more hours. Now im trying to look for a full time job

Not working at the moment, but would love to retrain to be a veterinary nurse.

I used to be an administrator for Beds & Luton Fire & Rescue Service. I was surrounded by hunky firemen all day long.
What a drag

I like the staff in M & S - always polite & helpful! Are you?

I got 100% on mystery shop last month n got chocolates and 15pounds M&S gift voucher so can't complain! but its really nice when you get customers and people like yourself saying how helpful and nice staff are really makes you feel good

I'm an art student, which is miserable, and at the weekends I work in retail, which I quite enjoy.

I am a Registered Nurse (not sure of the equiv in England...?) and I don't get paid enough for the abuse I've had to deal with over the years. (Especially in the Emerg dept)

I specialised in renal nursing (kidney failure and dialysis) in 1989 and now that's where I've gone back to following ED. Both have their good and bad days.

In the 90's when I first moved to FNQ I wanted to be a vet, but at the time the uni courses were only in two capital cities and I was too far away from either of them to apply

(I also thought I was getting married and having kids to grow up with Kita). How wrong was I

im self employed work from home with my partner we design and make tshirts and will be moving on to diff thing to soon
