The "what do you do" thread.

Not to be nosey and certainly not to be judgmental or owt. Hear all this about the Glastonbury spirit, which I do believe in..

i work in a maternity hospital. Sometimes it's scary.

[eviepeach]

I'm a nurse on a cancer ward. Sometimes it's scary, sometimes it's sad but right now I'm on my break during a night shift and I just want my bed. The thought of being at Glastonbury this time next week is helping me through.

[bekimo]

I'm a transport controller. I manage a rabble of couriers. 

It's really taxing on the brain cells. I have to be multi tasking 90% of the day, but it's the most fun job I've ever had. Van drivers might be a terror on the roads but they are for the most part a great group of guys, we have such a laugh!

I work at a University, the young adults get younger every year, I am definitely not getting older

You're a hero x

I'm a Train Guard. On an early shift it's great you watch the sun come up and have a general natter with people on their way to work or finishing after a night shift. On late jobs on Saturdays however....

I'm a nail technician. Absolutely love it. I have the nicest clients in the world and I spend my days chatting non stop. 

Totally mobbed this week because I'll be off for 8 days but it's all for a good cause

[MrHew]

I'm a team leader at Ecotricity (green energy company). I bloody love my team and my jobs cool. So busy that the days absolutely fly by. 

[Flysheet]

Sales for a Power Management/Engineering company. We deal in energy reduction technology in the main

Stressful, busy, enjoyable most of the time!

[Charm]

I work for a property developer, it's interesting and I get on well with my boss so it doesn't really feel like work. I'm also a qualified massage therapist and take care of my friends and family, don't require payment for this as I just like to help people.

When I'm not obsessively scouring this forum I use my laptop to do quality compliance officery type things for a filtration manufacturer. Our products are used in a range of markets from final filtration of vaccines and Cancer battling drugs through to food and beverage. So when you're enjoying that first pint of Brothers on Wednesday...  You're welcome!

[Chazwozza]

I'm an ex-Army officer. Now I'm busy with all sorts of new stuff but  Glastonbury is one of the things that I still keep on doing.  I moved heaven and earth to get to it while I was in, and I love it that I can still go now (tickets permitting, obvs...)

[Earthwindandfire2205]

I was a EMT for 27 years until last April. I had to leave as my dad died of a brain tumour and I could not deal with seeing dead people on a regular basis anymore. I now am the South West Regional Fundraising Manager for the Brain Tumour Research Charity. 

This will be my 7 th Glastonbury working for FMS. Love my jobs and love the festival x

[rumpola]

I'm a data network engineer. Basically build and fix networks across the UK so people can use the t'internets.

Big hand to the people here that actually work in the health service. I doff my cap to you all.

[djdavejohnson]

I'm an Operations Manager for a payroll provider. Love my job, no two days are the same. 

I was previously a full time self-employed DJ. At that time I vowed I would never work for somebody as I enjoyed the freedom of being my own boss.

Then I had to get serious as being a successful DJ for my entire working life would be very difficult. My role now effectively allows me to run the company I work for. Best of both worlds - security and freedom :)

I took a bit of an interest in green energy while I was at uni (mainly renewables). Hopefully it will really take off in the future. 

I work in maintenance for a company that manufactues semiconductors. Have had my ups and downs over the years (working full time and studying takes it out of you) but I am enjoying it again now. It is pretty interesting how they actually do it.

[Mr.Tease]

I work as a counsellor, two days a week for a charity counselling children and two days a week for the NHS counselling adults- I always feel guilty about taking time off! 

[Stooonami]

As little as possible usually

I'm a college lecturer and DJ

[Larraht]

I have almost qualified as a social worker after two years of a Masters degree. I am currently elbow deep in a disertation which needs to be mostly done before I go and have fun on the farm. On the upside, I have a job as a children's social worker due to start in September so I'm enjoying a *mostly deserved* summer off.

I might need to hunt you down next week....pulled neck/shoulder muscle at the weekend whilst yawning and stretching and it's still a bit sore. Don't have time to go for a neck/shoulder massage due to working non-stop until we leave. Hot water bottles at the ready......this pain will be gone for Glasto lol xx

Sorry to hear that buddy The research charity you work for doesn't happen to be based in a place called Padbury does it?

Thank you. It was we have moved to Milton Keynes now.

[Smeble]

I'm a truck driver, pretty easy job, bit dull but pays well, only downside is having to contend with morons in cars who are far too busy playing with their phones and  satnavs to actually look out of their windows and concentrate on what's going on around them.

What a small world, I went to a job interview there last year, lovely bunch of people 

[RobertProsineckisLighter]

Manage the GIS (digital maps and analysis) and spatial data function for a metropolitan borough so everything from grit bins and street lights to troubled families and emergency planning. 

Couldn't do the jobs some of you do, too much to take home. Much respect.
