The best thing about my job is going home.:(

which wholesalers?

`I'm an electrical contracter, jobs ok, but i love being my own boss, being able to get up to go to work when i want/have to, basically doing as i please:), thing that sucks sometimes is its either feast or famen:(, when its good though its good:D

I work in mining exploration.
I get to travel a lot through SA and the NT, spending time at remote bush camps. The money isn't too bad either.

The down side being that I am away from home a lot more than I am at home. That means when I am home I have to spend a lot of time doing all the odd jobs that build up while I am away.

Well I`m a miserable sod.For the life of me I can`t think of one aspect of were I work as good.Even knocking of is no fun cause I know that I`m back there the next day.The two that I work with I suppose are good to work with,but as far as my job and were I work not a clue as what might be a good point.It`s hot,filthy,noisey,filthy,dark,filthy and its dirty.You get to dodge fork lifts,work of ladders at height,work in confined spaces with out any safety procedures,work on a 800 degree furnace standing on a 200 mm wide board over a pit of sharp slag,work in a acid dipping area(hmm that might be a good point,clears the pores up and takes those stubborn stains of my hands)Get to use equipment and machine tools that where old when Mosses was a young lad.Least though I get paid.

Hi mate,
I appreciate your positive attitude and perspective on life, but if you really want some answers you should ask for the respective job's downsides. I could start here straight away... Who, btw, said it's only 5 days per week one has to work:(:mad::twisted:???

Cheers

You KNOW why I love my job so much Jock, its because its almost a hobby:):):):):):D:D:D:D:D

What do I like,

Reasonably varied work, everyday has the potential to be an unknown.

The odd perk :eek:

Get out and about a fair bit

I get to play with smoke and fire (or mirrors :)) occasionally

Just a shame they supply a Toymota to drive around in :D:D

What I don't like is the ever increasing bull**** paperwork :twisted::twisted:
