officially
 
Unemployed,

Unofficially I work cash in hand where ever I can and will continue to do so until either I get full access to my kids, or the last youngen turns 18 or I get locked up for tax / child maintenence evasion.

Basically I am just scratching out a living till I either die or win lotto.

Just watched alot of the channel 5 bike paramedic riders, so what bike do you get?

spm0912 03-10-10 23:21

Pans, both 11's and 13's. Tender has gone out to replace the 11's and we'll probably end up with BeeMs, not because they are a better bike (though I do have an RT!) but because our diversity department has got involved and we have to provide a bike for the short of leg to encourage female riders. The RT is the only one that can be lowered at the factory but still be capable of carrying the weight required.

Thing is 'she' has left and gone to another service now anyway!!

No its not jus 7.5% it works out at like 40% off because youre paying an extra 7.5% on top of the cost price (the price the company pays for the product). for example i pay under �14 for genuine harley t-shirts which cost jo public up to �30. Im praying to god its the same or better at hein gericke.

an occasional job....
 
Worked the state election this weekend, on the tables Saturday and saw this absolutely gorgeous redhead mum ( 9.5/10 easily maybe even a 9.7/10), no ring on finger only a relatively short distance from home. Counted papers today surprisingly not as good....
Now all cashed up and target to spend on.

muppdog 27-03-11 17:50

NPD Person

Started adult life training as a chef in Michelin starred joint. Young man's game though. So at 30 said good bye to kitchens and got into New Product Development for major food manufacturers. From concept to shop shelf and anything inbetween ie.micro, shelf life, factory trials, machine sourcing setup and trials, specification, i do the lot.
5 years self employed now and fully booked for the next 6 months. Not bad!
Good bits:
Lots of travelling, variation, lots of new ideas, paid to go shopping, store visits on the bike, lots of holiday, seing your products advertised on telly and in the stores.
Bad bits:
Away from the bike too often, some products take 12 months to finish and it becomes repetative, tight,tight deadlines, long long weeks(100+ hours not rare!)
Overall, quiet good. You chefs out there, try it!

I'm a Motor car mechanic and forgot more than many others. Served my time about 40 odd years ago. Still working miracles daily. Was a motorcycle instructor for about 8 years but went back to my Snap On tools. Still get job satisfaction after all this time and am fairly hot with the diagnostics which is unusual for an old fart.

I started my working career off in a mechanical engineering apprenticeship for Leyland DAF trucks, but it wasnt all they made it out to be and in two years of a four year course i had learned f*** all! Scrapped it off and got my snowboard teaching qualifications, worked in switzerland and japan instructing the sport. During summer i work on outdoor activity bases in the UK (PGL). Not so bad, lots of travelling....and of course my XT comes with me wherever possible!
