What do you do for work?

Funny you should mention that. I am not crazy about my current job, and in fact have a preliminary interview with a rather well known Internet company for a sales position in about two hours. Hope I get it, would give me a decent bump in pay and awesome benefits.

PD

I work for EDF, one of the British electricity boards that are now owned by the French(!).

I started with them when they were Seeboard (South eastern electricity board) as an apprentice back in '99 and reached Craftsman level 5 years ago.

I used to be a department manager/computer tech for Staples, but a year or so ago, I became dissabled due to a really annoying and debillitating medical condition. I'm currently on dissability and am, after TONS of tests and medications, finally to a level where I can start looking for work that I can physically do with this dissability which won't be easy.

I don't see it that way: every job is important in it's own way. And it does not give me any benefit when I try to sneek in a convoy or try to avoid a DD :rotfl: .
