Thought it would be an interesting thread to see what all us ZED owners do for a job? :cry: and describe what you have to do day to day.

 

I will start...

 

I own a dot com company (im sure that a few of you use my sites as we look after millions of people in the uk), its very varied day to day. Some days you have mountains of problems to deal with ranging from Staff, Hackers, and literally thousands of moaning people or techical problems. To other days where you can be creative coming up with new ideas and applications and get a great sence of achievement. I do love what I do but sometimes things move a bit slowly for my liking. :duffer:

 

On the plus side I have one of the guys in the office building me a nice site so I can post up all my progress and pictures on my 300zx.

im an electrician. cover most aspects of domestic work from sockets and lights when wiring houses or flats. also fit an wire fire alarm systems,smoke vent system, street lighting, door entry systems all sparky stuff basically. hoping to delve into inteligent power systems ie where whole houses are controlled by a remote control but just far to busy with my own work the now, definitely something for the future though

Until recently, when I took a redundancy package, I used to work in IT, in either networks or security. So far this year I haven't done any real work, but who knows, that may change sometime ....

Haha, work is over rated ! I planned to not work over the Summer and in that I have been successful, I ought to get around to planning some future employment at some stage though, in the next tax year perhaps ...

Im chief sweeper upper at a medical distribution centre, the most amount of fun i get is driving round on a road sweeper which doesnt pick anything up but it makes me look busy and wastes 2 hours of the day.

 

Stevemochan - how do you get a huge fook off crane/digger license and a job like that?

i drive a lorry. chris moyles wrote a song about people like me :rofl:

I install dispensing systems for controlled drugs in Pharmacies and do the software training for the pharmacists and staff. Fairly interesting most of the time, gets me around the country but I spend lots of time away from home which isnt great!

Do you get all the meths you want as a perk? :p

im a chef, day to day.... long and boring, but reasonably good pay

Joiner( for 21 years) for a nationwide shopfitting company mainly contracts for the big supermarket chains. Didn't much like it in the office they tried to rope me into it about 5 years ago but found it p!ss boring. Maybe different in a few years if I can get my arse into gear trained up on CAD.

I work on the bgateway.com website that gives advice for people looking to start or grow an existing business, all done in partnership with businesslink.gov.uk south of the border

lol... well no as meths is different to methadone...

Sadly??! we of course dont supply the controlled drugs - just the machines to dispense it.

 

Basically the pumps save the pharmacist having to measure everything out and then prints of the paperwork at the end of the day (controlled drugs registers and also labelling)

i am a design engineer for a company that makes hedges cutters.

 

i design those big yellow things that sit on the back of tractors causing trafic jams and giving your bike punctures.

 

My self and my partner also own a small (15 rooms) luxury hotel/restaurant which takes up the rest of my time (she is the manager)

Im a Mechanical Maintenance Technician in a Nuclear Power Station.

 

Pretty much look after the £9.7m 35-tonne fans that pump carbon dioxide around our reactors! And well, pretty much everything else associated with them!

 

I did apply to work on the oil rigs but, at the time, nobody was looking for anyone :(

I graduated as electrical engineer but I'm working as a project manager now. We build and modify high voltage electrical substations.

 

It would be nice to do something else, just don't know what.

I graduated with a degree in acoustics 5 years ago, but I'm still working in the Hifi shop that I got a holiday job in during uni :(

I'm an area manager for a company called PCM, i visit stores in the east midlands and shout at people and get paid for it lol

I've run my own IT company for the last 20 years. No staff to worry about anymore, just me. I've been contracting for the past 2 years including work on the Olympic builds - feel very lucky compared with some people I know out there...
