jobs

I'd like a job. I've been without work for months. This IT downsizing is crap. It seems like companies expect to bring in a consultant once a few weeks rather than hire full time.

Must be nice! What were you doing?

Ran the imaging and special procedures departments in a 550 bed hospital for 10+ years plus a load of overtime + I taught 3 classes a week for 20 years. Saved & invested a lot during the 80's & 90's, pulling things into cash investments at *just*the*right*times then reinvesting when things cooled off.

I retired, not by will but by injury; crushed a nerve and a bursa in the right knee as the result of an elevator accident.

Basically the accident was caused by the hospital changing their elevator service program from full time in-house to having it done per diem. It didn't work too well

Let's just say the settlement was "generous".

I picked the last option: "Nothing in anyway remotely like my ideal job."

Because, of course, my ideal job would be to sit on a throne atop a cloud and hurl lightning bolts at those who annoy me, while hundreds of females resembling Zokes' avatar surround me doing.. well, basically what Zokes' avatar is doing...

I enjoy my job with the Government. Very challenging, almost too much so.

I'm really sorry, I didn't know.

I have to say it is my best job ever so far. Didn't know I'd enjoy being a doctor so much.

I'm the person who counts how many people it actually takes to change the light bulb!

No problem ZokesPro. Doesn't bother me so it shouldn't bother you....

I have one of those jobs where some days I have nothing to do, and other days I have way too much to do. Such is life in the IT industry.

That's good to know, I really thought I had offended you. I'm glad you don't feel I did, it was an honest mistake.

Treasury Advisor/Financial Analyst/Dealer/Credit Analyst in the treasury of a VERY large corporate.

Pros: pay is good, job is v. secure, supposedly career options aplenty.

Cons: bored with it by now, not hugely motivated, career options have dried up a bit recently (no one around seems to know why though - there is usually a much bigger internal flow of people around)

Originally wanted to go expat and travel a lot, but things change... she means more to me than any job! So I stay in London and may move jobs internally soon.

So doesn't really fit in with any of the above...

Doc,
Hows the knee now?
