I'm a Parts Manager for a major car retail company.

I could complain, but I enjoy it most of the time, I must do I have been hard at it for fourteen years now.

45/50 mins to work and 40/45 home by car.

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.
I've done most of them. What's next?
Death?
Becoming a TOG or reduced membership and becoming a senior?

I work in operating theatres as an operating department practitioner and most of the time really enjoy it!
Re-trained after 15 years in engineering in 2003.

less than 5 mins bike ride to work as well which is a bonus!

This has been an interesting thread!

I have just finished working for 21 years as a printer doing every shift pattern you can possibly imagine.Recently been on 12hr shifts which were fine before I had kids.I have never enjoyed it but it pays really well so have felt trapped in it for a quite a while.Had a 15 minute motorway commute to work.

From Monday I start working for myself doing refurbishment on golf equipment,as well as club repairs and probably car parts in the future.
Commute is 20 strides to my garage. :D

Being a postman is a great job for a golfer. Home at lunchtime, the rest of the day on the links. I'd love it! I've done jobs where you're up at 5 and finished by lunchtime. You can't beat it.

My new job is manager of a team of Project Managers, Service Managers and Contracts managers for a large financial services organisation in Southampton. My commute has gone from 15 minutes each way in my old job to an hour each way in my new one :mad: but my hours have dropped from 50 a week to 35 (so far!) :)

I am a partner in a law firm specialising in residential and commercial conveyancing.

Since moving to this position my commute is a good hour and a half in the car every day so am looking to move nearer to work.

Chief Officer Dive Support Ship working in the Arabian Gulf off Qatar. 42 days on/42 days off. 12 hours a day 7 day week when at work. Commute is 3 1/2 hrs to LHR overnight 6 1/2 hr flt ,overnight in hotel then 15 hour boat ride, return is better as I dont have to overnight at LHR and of course travel is only every 6 weeks.

42 days off is excellent as I can do what I want with my time and do not even need to think about work.

I work some very odd shifts. Essentially, Rotating days & nights, with rest days in between. Handy in some ways as it means I can take out a 5 day golf membership instead of the 7 day, most mortals have to, to get their golf in.

Only problem is like tonight, I'm stuck in night mode, even on my days off.

Could really do with getting something else to do jobwise, if I could find something that paid enough to make ends meet.
