I work in a call centre giving out public transport info. You need a bus in west yorkshire I'm your girl

I read this quickly and i read it as "I work as a call girl" i nearly choked on my pineapple.

I am an administrator in a secondary school with lots of looney kids.
Teachers dump so much crap on us its unbelieveable.

my hubby is a SAHD but will hopefully be working in a care home part time once youngest starts reception full time.

Hi, I'm a staff nurse on a cardio-thoracic intensive care unit, mainly looking after patients straight out of theatre following their open heart surgery; bypass grafts, valve replacements, aortic aneurysm repairs, things like that, and also people who have undergone lung operations. It's 1 to 1 nursing on the whole and it's unbelievable how busy you can be with just one patient!! I do love my job, it's very interesting and rewarding but can be very stressful at the same time!! I can't believe I'm typing this with just 4 1/2 hours before I have to get up for work (a double shift on a Sunday....I think I'm in denial!!!)X

 

[funcurls]

Heather!! GO TO BED! No-one wants you falling asleep in hand over :4635:

Haha!! I love it! I'm a total insomniac!! You wait til you've been working shifts for 14 years Allie!! You'll be a part of the 'walking zombie club' too!!X

 

[snuggle69]

At least doing shifts like that you cant get bored and eat all the time!!! definatly lots of different jobs floating around on here!

 

[AmyS]

I am a chartered accountant. Have recently qualified after doing a 3 year training contract in Audit and now work as a financial accountant for a company that manufacture big bits of metal and then sell them to make aeroplanes!

I am also a dance teacher working at my Aunts dance school on a Saturday, and some evenings. Would love to cut back on my hours as an accountant to start my own dance school but there seem to be obstacles at every turn!

I'm currently a student teacher, training in primary. It's been a really hard year, my social life is non existent and sometimes I wonder why on earth I'm doing it - but then as soon I'm in the classroom with the children it's totally worth it!

Been on the job hunt for a while now, applied for lots of posts and not heard anything and I was starting to feel fed up about it. Today I found out I've finally got myself an interview at a brilliant school - can't believe I got shortlisted because the school will have attracted lots of applicants as it's one of the best in the area so to get to the interview stage feels amazing!

I work as a home insurance claims handler out of hours. So basically if you have an emergency after 5pm with your home, you are more than likely to come through to my office as we deal with over 200 insurers! I hate it! Policy holders are sooooo rude! haha
