What do you do to fund the habit??

I was wondering what everyone does work wise (nosey tart aye!)
Main reason I ask is that it appears alot of people here are in the automotive industry in one way, shape or form.

I work for a Vehicle Leasing Company, running a Maintenance department (as such)....it's lotsa fun sometimes, when I get time to help the team with answering phones and issuing work authorisations (I was a maintenance controller for 3 years), I get to play games with the week and febble minded which amuses me no end....

I had a guy from an unnamed Ford Dealership on the phone yesterday who wanted to justify labour time by trying to tell me how hard and labour intensive it was to strip down and adjust the handbrake on a BA Falcon (talking to me asuming that cause I'm a chick I will know less than him about cars).

I'm like, "they're self adjusting mate" ,making it sound all didn't ya know .....
And the idiot goes, "no they're not......are they??

Needless to say stifarms tells me off.....

Anyway enough about me.....

Its like a kid working in a bloody lollie store with me.

Technical marketing in the pulp and paper industry (but in my defence to people who think that marketers are all shiny suits, I graduated as a Mechanical Engineer a lifetime ago

)

Cool

I have been working with cars for 10 odd years (and yes, some of them were odd!) and sometimes wonder what I might do next when I get sick of Groundhog day....Holding up a desk at a Bike dealership sounds pretty cool....

adjust the handbrake on a BA Falcon .....

The seperate handbrake shoes on a BA Falcon are not selfadjusting and they are a pain in the arse to set up,you have to buy the very expensive shoes to get the little clips that stop them making a lot of noise.

I fix cars for a living.....and get pissed off having to justify the time it takes to fix them.....like,why don't you do it yourself if you don't like the price?....

I sell my body on K'rd, but rarely get much for it. So during the day, I push a mouse around the screen and pretend I know something about designing stuff like mags and posters, and the odd bit of web design for a telco
