Generally enjoy the work I do and where I work, lucky enough to work with one of my best mates and have a boss that looks after his employees. There are some dicks where I work that irritate you, by generally being lazy fatherless sons but you get them most places.

My boss is a cnut so I'm not exactly enjoying my job.

Love the fact he's on holiday for 2 weeks after recently announcing he's closing the company

I'm working in a refinery at the moment with the E&I team, mostly fixing issues that pop up and doing ATEX certification and risk assessments. I like it but would prefer to work with control systems, DeltaV and SCADA and the like, as that was my favourite part of my college course. I finish up in September and am going back for another year of college, hopefully I can get into a control system job then  :smiley:

Work for HMCTS, load of balls as some police officers are c*nts & same with the public, but I do get along with the majority which is handy if police ever pull me  :grin:

Job is boring as hell as 90% off the time I am doing nothing, it can get exciting with some incidents that kick off and the adrenalin kicks in with people doing silly things with knives. Since I'm sub contracted I end up getting a much worse wage the the real HMCTS staff and no pension.

Will be looking for a new job as soon as I settle in my new house as I've had a few offers already and I may be the only person that thinks this, but there's plenty off jobs out there and everyone I know that was determined has got a job or changed job in this recession.

I enjoy most jobs ive done tbh.If i don't like it i move on.I was a qualified mechanic(before all this technician balls :grin:)Which i enjoyed but then it got to the point where it got into a case of plug it in and change that part :rolleyes: Then became Lpga registered and started converting cars and vans to run on lpg,but again after i had tackled all the difficult jobs i got bored.

Ive been a mechanical engineer for 8 or so years now and love it.Ive travelled europe,met interesting people learned loads of useful things and still learning every day.
Every day is a challenge and nothing is ever the same.
I currently work in a Forge making aerospace parts with a 16,500ton Weingarten screw press.Im working the weekend shift(have since oct last year) 7am-11pm sat and 3pm-7am sun/mon. Maintaining and improving the machinery whilst the crew run it.Im the only engineer working at the weekend and i look after a massive site on my own which i love as im never bored and time passes quick.

I then get the rest of the week off to work on my car and make money fixing others and doing gas conversions.I also get paid a lot more money for doing the shift nobody else wants to do. :evil:

I work for one of the big supermarkets in the uk (the orange one!!) as a home delivery driver, delivering people's shopping throughout the day. Although everyday is different and u get to meet lots of different customers (some fit, some ok, some just fcuking greedy!!) it's an OK job. Pay is sh!t!! But enjoy driving around all day.

I just need more money, I take home just over a grand a month, also have a mortgage to pay and a house to maintain so don't get much cash at the end of the month. BUT my job is safe, EVERYONE needs food so don't think il be made redundant any time soon!

I love my job! I'm a supervisor lifeguard at the UK's biggest and oldest outdoor pool and everyday is awesome. Some days go a bit slower than others but I'm never bored. We always manage to find something to do, be it pi$$ing about or actually working, hell I even go to work on my days off! Both of my managers are awesome, I get on really well with them and the same goes to the whole lifeguarding team. Even though we only know each other since april we're already like a group of real good friends both in and out of work. Days with great weather are just pure awesome, what's not to like about covering yourself in some tanning oil and sitting in a vest on poolside for 5 or 6 hours a day?....


Sounds easy but it's actually pretty hard, you can't just wonder off into another dimension and sit back and enjoy the sun. You have to concentrate hard the whole time and see everything that's going on. Easy in a small pool but when you've got 113m x 47 it's pretty difficult.
