My OH does - Pilot, night-stops in posh hotels, max 100 hours a month (I think), trips to exciting places, free food, free uniform, discounted flights.

I don't know if I do, but I like it!

I work for a department store, my job role is dressing windows, dressing mannequins, putting up sale events, displays on the departments, painting and general diy in the store.
I love it!

What do you do juicychops?

My hours are a bit of a pain as I can't do full days (no childcare available) so I work 6am to 9am 3 mornings a week and all day Sundays.
Dh looks after ds.
My sister is single mum and she is currently looking for work and finding it difficult to fit in with school etc.

Have a cunning plan to teach piano when dd2 gets off to school next year - not that I am qualified yet - but working on it. Spent years working in retail management but the hours were hideous so although I did enjoy it I don't think I'd want to go back.

I'm a management accountant - not actually as boring a job as most people think. Am studying for a qualification in accountancy too.

I am a nurse, qualified as a District Nurse 5 years ago and now work as a profissional manager. Having the best time ever at work as I have learnt so much about myself and have just completed a post grad certificate in public service management which has benefitted me enormously. Love my job and hope my staff feel they are well managed - the feedback I get suggests they are..... hope they ain't lying!!!!
