[WalkedUp]

When my eldest was four we went to a birthday party with his new Reception classmates. It was outside in a field and one little boy asked:
Boy: “What are they running?”
Me: “Red-legged partridge”
Boy: “Are you a farmer?”
My son: “My dad looks like a farmer, but he’s actually a builder”
Me: ….

i do colouring in.

That could mean Geographer!!

As my A level Geography teacher used to insist, rather plaintively ‘personal graphical representation is a very important skill in spatial investigations’

‘You mean it’s all about colouring in, sir?’

 

[Mungo]

I attempt to turn teenagers into employable adults with a modicum of transferable skills and some ability to think for themselves.

While having my soul ground to dust by the remorseless and wildly irrational bureaucracy of a dinosaur like institution that regards educators as less desirable than rats.

I run a small company servicing the local area, commercial ground work mostly maintenance, commercial ground care and few domestic ground work and landscaping jobs.
Grateful for all the jobs, keeps me out of mischief.

So youll have killed a few deer at work too?

 

[VSS]

yes but what about work ?

Joking apart, I've never really considered what I do to be "work". I just live my life pretty much the way I want. Very lucky, really.
I base all my business decisions on how much I'll enjoy doing something, not how much money it will make.
We only get one life.

Now retired. Work 15 years in agriculture as a herdsman. 23 years working in concrete repairs and specialist coatings and when I moved to Sweden 18 years casting concrete elements. These days a bit of part time game keeping, Dog training and SFA. Life is good.

 

[Freeforester]

Served my time and more as a saddler in the family business (- no job too small, discretion assured ), but spent the last forty years making a sustainable living via deer.

 

[Mr Tree]

I'm retired, but working hard as a musician & fixing stuff.

 

[rocketdogbert]

Retired. My (boring AND stressful) job never defined me.

 

[Taff]

Done a few different jobs, could retire, but work for a hunting store now.
Never felt any were a job , but a way of life.

 

[vmaxphil]

Retired worked for military intelligence

 

[Grand Slam]

In the process of changing career after almost 24 years of engineering, plant fittering and logistics. Going to invest a bit more time into the venison business, alongside some logistics based work. Have an air con and refrigeration course lined up in the next few months so will be dabbling into that side of life.

All this with a potential move up to Scotland next year. Exciting times ahead.
