    Let's see...
    • I sit in a row of desks all day long pretending to take notes and trying to stay awake, while someone talks in montone at the front of the room;
    • Part-time I put on new clothes and parade around on a walk, while all the lads that act as if they want to buy the clothes I wear, are really wanting me to take them off;
    • Oh, I also part-time work trying to dodge punches and kicks while showing a bunch of mostly lads in white PJs how to punch and kick me.

    Student?
    Model?
    Martial arts instructor?

    As for me, I'm a full-time lab rat and the reason I'm up this late is that I don't start work until Wednesday.

    Sounds like a multiple guess test I took the other day? "All of the above." Well, role playing, cause "the whole world's a stage" isn't it?

    I work in recruitment, but not in an evil soul-destroying agency. I work for a company that's awarded projects and contracts mainly in the financial services industry. I find IT/business contractors to work on these projects. I've been posting on here recently about how much I hate it and how I want to leave but in the last week it's got much better and I'm happy enough. I put a bit of extra effort in to make me feel better and it paid off!

    P.S If any of you are IT contractors looking around feel free to send me a PM!!

    I run my own B&B. Its great, I meet lots of lovely people from all over the world.

    I try to impress them with my magnificant breakfasts then I feed the hens, do a bit of cleaning up/washing etc, walk the dogs then generally spend the rest of the day drinking tea, watching Youtube and seeking out websites to advertise on until the kids come home from school (but don't tell my better half) - its a very stressful job, really it is lol.
