O/T Curious what all you hambers do for work?

Chartered accountant by qualification but I tell folk Im no good at it, and still I get those "honorary treasurer" jobs in all the clubs Im involved in.

.And own some properties and a head injury rehab business. I look after the $$ and I have a manager to look after the rehab business.

Seems to work out okay some years, but occasionally I think I should just sell up and my wife & I should go to the USA and buy a motorhome and follow nostalgia drag racing for a year.

Maybe next year aye

 

Thanks for the compliment.

And you coached in the NFL for a while, too

 

I like what I do for a living. I just have to work the equivalent of two full time jobs to support my family, sometimes it just starts getting to me, but most of the time I'm grateful for the opportunity.

(I build stuff for tv commercials and movies)

I love what I do.
Monday is the best day of the week.
Its all a game.
Can I lift 22 million dollars worth of stuff and have it pointing exactly perfect?
Yup!
Even if I won the lottery, I'd probably only take off a couple of days.
You know, to sober up and be able to read again.

 

I do shipping for a small fuel system company in the midwest

That sounds perfect!
