I'm a CAD tech.  Nothing exciting, but it leaves my evenings & weekends free for playing gigs.  8)


Same! :drink:  

What do you draw? We draw bridges and walls mainly.


I used to be a CAD Technician, although I was always called the CAD Monkey.... which is quite apt considering my user name.

I'm a technical author in an IT company - user guides, technical specs, training materials and wotnot. Although they seem to have been using me as a business consultant and application designer for the last 12 months   :evil:  (And wondering why they don't have any up-to-date documentation  :lol: )

However - it has meant lots of overtime... resulting in 3 new guitars, a new modeller, and four sets of BKPs since Christmas  :twisted:

I'm a sub-editor for a local newspaper, which mostly means correcting spelling mistakes and making sure the commas are in the right places. It's pretty thankless - you only get noticed when you $%&# something up. If you do it right, you get no credit. It might not come as a suprise I'm looking to move on.

Exactly my plan  :twisted:
I have been forced labour on the farm for many years, and with the pay from an apprenticeship, it looks like I could even stretch moving out straight away :D

I do admin for a big huge logistics company, and I only started on Tuesday! (and I got a pay rise because I have to get a bus and a train there, when I've been there 6 months I get another rise, woo!!!)

guess who's going to save for a custom!!! (after I've bought a load of other random stuff first)

well, after reading all those posts I can safely say I have the worst job so far, ha ha... Executive Complaints handler in the customer services department of utilities company.

when people have a problem with the company I work for (fairly often) and they go through the usual call centre route, they usually get yeah-yeah'd and nothing gets done.  they'll complain to the call centre and a 'complaint' gets logged - once it's gone up the food chain past operations managers and they can't resolve the customer's problem, I get the dubious honour of sorting out all their false promises and bullshitee lies they've told over the preceeding weeks (me jaded? - ha ha).  

I also handle press-complaints and liase with the energy ombudsman on occasion if the customer is a total c--k and is demanding something that we cannot possibly agree too (also common).  typical scenario... you $%&#ed up my bill, I've had to call you five times and write two letters - I want 5 hours of my own time compensated for, phone calls, paper, pens, depreciation on my shoes walking to the postbox to send you this letter, etc. etc. amounting to £1000.  typical response... dream on.

I'm also looking to move on, ha ha  :lol:

I work for an Insurance Company and I train and supervise a large department and I have to be the technical guru and deal with any complicated issues and sort out disputes. I deal with commercial insurance only and jolly exciting it is too.
