Because I think we all need a laugh at the moment! Inspired by a Twitter hashtag, explain your job (or an old one) and guess what other posters’ jobs were.

I use dangerous chemicals and fire around children.

I seduce foreign (mainly) men so that they do everything I want, whilst avoiding their attempts to get me drunk.

@Greenandcabbagelooking.

Sorry no! Although I would have some transferable skills to take up a new career!

Another clue - most of my colleagues probably think my job is to make their jobs harder BUT really if everyone else did their own jobs right in the first place my job wouldn't need to exist!

@fodderbeet good guess! But no, I'm a copywriter. I spent a lot of time rescuing badly written business websites and I do a lot of networking! 😀

WheresTheEvidence · 10/04/2020 15:49

@Wauden no my clients are similar in a way! 😆

I spend my days organizing the optimal timing of (ideally) a single annual shag for my darlings. It's important that my sleeves are closely fitted yet can be rolled to my shoulder

I read other people’s case files and colour bits out (electronically). I used to do the colouring by hand but I was crap at that!

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

Pickles89 · 10/04/2020 20:34

@SamsMumsCateracts

I really hope you wash your hands inbetween! Grin

Nursery nurse?

SamsMumsCateracts · 10/04/2020 20:37

@Pickles89 yep, it's a glamorous job. I also get peed on and sicked on fairly regularly!
