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.

You're a sub editor !??!

I count children twice a day. I bombard their parents with emails which mostly they forget I sent and they call me up to ask stuff. Sometimes I'm rude to them but only when they deserve it

Yes I'm a vet.
I'm so bad at guessing these, I need more clues.
Who is the country's snitch? Somebody in charge of the reporting of a load of CCTV footage?

Since I am on furlough, like a lot of people I spent much of today doing for a hobby what some people do for a job. It can be done for functional purposes without which humans could not survive, or purely decorative purposes. I did both today.

You're a quantity surveyor, aren't you??

I tell doctors how to do drugs safely and effectively without spending too much

Cairoprankster · 09/04/2020 20:32

@Ncg123 correct. It was an odd career choice for me as I used to be squeamish when someone cracked their knuckles. It’s oddly satisfying now.

usercheeselover · 09/04/2020 20:34

@PeepeeDarling
I made it too simples. I always do but parents refuse to just read stuff

Old Job - Spent the day resisting the temptation to tell clients to read the manual. Occasionally had to tell them to turn it off and on again.

Current Job - Want to go back to the old job for a rest.
