Cinnamon Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I know we had a 'what is your job' thread recently,which was really interesting. Yesterday my daughter described our jobs as Waitrose checkout girls as 'we get paid for waving food around until it bleeps', which really tickled me. Can you succinctly & honestly describe your job in less than 10 words? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerryegg Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I am retired but many years ago when asked the same question a colleague replied, this job is 'always being in the poo but sometimes the level varies.' True of lots of jobs I would think, this was public sector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerryegg Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 My word I had never noticed and I barely cope with English. Will copy it for future reference. If I was working now I'd frame it over my desk. Doubt the Jobcentre would approve, very funny about signs these days. In future I will pay more attention to signatures.I did notice the nice lurcher lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorbloodnock Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Don't worry; when I put it there, I didn't seriously expect people to read it. Given the amount of drivel I write, I see it as a bonus if people get to the end of the post, let alone the signature after it. No, it was just put there to tickle the chuckle muscle of anyone unfortunate enough to share the same sense of humour as me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 We really are in the poo - and the level sure does vary - and I always smile at your signature Major The bit that pays the mortgage though is....paper shuffling and pen pushing with occasional animal wrangling!
