KeefG could you tell me if fully insulated shovels would be used laying the cables you referred to?

Not on our works fella, maybe on the civil engineering side but thats a different contractor.

I am a printer, we print labels for the drinks industry such as Johnnie Walker, Heineken, WKD, Bacardi etc. I work 12 hour shifts on a pattern that gives me days off in the week and I work one weekend in three.

I drive the 13 miles to work and pass the golf club both ways on the M4

 

[wackygolfer]

I work at my golf club ,behind the bar, do shift work, great for organising days off for golf. 5 mins drive from my house. Love the job and the people at the club.

I've got a wee travel agency in Edinburgh (Leith) I enjoy it, meet lots of nice people, send them on nice holidays and get a couple myself.
I drive to work, it should take 5/10 minutes, but given Edinburgh council have decided to dig every road in Edina up, it's more like 20 minutes.

 

[HTL]

Sports Science Lecturer.

Takes me 1hr 15min to get into work when I catch the 6:30am train, getting back usually takes about 1hr 30min. Hence the time spent on forum.

 

[jammydodger]

Fireman working shifts so can play plenty in the week and miss some comps at weekend but thats the way it goes.

Takes me 45/50 mins to get to work in Lowestoft from Norwich

 

[bobmac]

Travel to the local golf course (15 mins) and driving range (10 mins) and talk to people about their golf swings

 

[viscount17]

technical author, doing the A1 south-north run every day, how long depends on the day's collection of idiots and the much-beloved highways agency (the Black Cat roundabout was bad before they improved it - now it's ********** awful).

current multi-national project is dreadful (it has the largest gathering of people telling us how to do our jobs that I have ever seen in one place) hence I escape into fantasy land (or maybe this is reality and all the rest a bad dream)

 

[Macster]

I run my own Travel Consultancy and work from home, love it, and hence why I can get on here at any time at all !

Had 4 Retail Travel Agencies at one stage, but closed all down to work on my own for a mostly discerning portfolio of clients, some of whom spend huuuuge amounts of money on very nice trips away !
Also means I can do everything I need to on my Blackberry whilst walking the dog at lunchtime, so work/life balance is sorted !

Oh, sometimes sneak off for golf too.......

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Recruitment Administrator for an NHS Foundation trust so always busy hiring lots of pretty young nurses. Get to go out and about occasionally to the wards and there always something pleasing on the eye in the restaurant at lunchtimes.

Its about 7 minutes where HID drops me off. 18 minutes from Bracknell to Reading by train and then a 20 minute walk. I normally leave at 7.40 and at my desk ready to take on the world by 8.30

 

[Tommo21]

Production engineer (methods) for a company who make around 650 stairlifts per week, electric motors for golf trolleys, pumps, fans and industrial cleaning machines and such like. Kind of help set up new production lines or processes, break down seemingly complicated jobs into easier manageable segments, test parts to destruction, identify production problems and annoy people by telling them it can be done better. 10 minutes there and back along the A1. One golf club just up the road the other about 20 min away……….great.

 

[Deleted member 1740]

I'm a Plumbing&heating engineer working in manchester at the momment 90 mile round trip, job and finnish during the summer so i'm quite flexible for afternoon rounds which of course is very important.

Though i hate the winter, constant repairs of old systems you tell the same people year after year to upgrade but they think your trying to rip them off.

 

[toyboy54]

Madandra ...love it ,as subtle as a boot in the bullocks!
Class man class!

 

[CarpeDiem]

Student, but I don't know if that counts as a job? Have to leave at 7.30 to catch the bus and finish at 3.30. That can vary though, some days I will finish at 10 am.

 

[USER1999]

But you have the future to worry about, finding work, affording a mortgage, spiralling debt, a wife and kids who don't work, possible divorce, a receding hairline, fading fashion sense, nostril hair, ever expanding ears, creaking joints, aches and pains, constant moaning about life isn't what it was 20 years ago, and smelling of urine 24 7.

Nope. I don't envy you at all.

I've done most of them. What's next?
