Jerry shrapnel is actually worse Mick.
razor sharp shards of high velocity Royal Doulton 'commemorative potty' flying up from below the bed?
Thank goodness for stout british mattresses I say.

I worked in residential social care as a Care Support Worker primarily with Autistic Adults until I had a very nasty traffic accident nearly 7 years ago as a result of a head injury sustained I had to give up work. Ironically a year after this my son was diagnosed with Autism, so as my wife is a full time Nurse I use my skills to look after him at home. When he is attending school on a regular basis ( not always the case) I focus on running my own small commission painting service.

Twenty six years in the Army - 12 as a tanker and, once I noted the lack of job postings for former tank company and battalion commanders, 14 in logistics. Currently working for a large IT integrator managing a portfolio supporting the Army and recycling my tax dollars.

Occupation update..(with due respects to all previous posts)...
In an ever changing world, sometimes we are forced to change occupations;..However...I have chose to stay the course and become the "complete" asshole.
It can be a very tough and taxing job sometimes because there is so much competition in today's world and it is so very hard to keep up..........
God bless us all....

Just over 15 years service (feels like 500 sometimes) as a constable with Sussex Police. Started off in my home town Eastbourne, then Lewes, Bexhill and now back at Lewes again. Before that 4 years working for Waterstones and 2 history degrees at Uni. Oh and a bit of TA service in 5 Queens/PWRR and Uni OCT. Regards Pete.
Owned a retail clothing business for five years which ruined Christmas for me for many, many years. Was involved with brokering real estate for seven years. Became civil servant for twenty-seven years and retired January 2016 - burned-out, stressed-out and disgusted at the direction the department was taking. Had an two atrial fibrillation incidents about six months prior to retirement that solidified the decision to leave. Now? Trying to write the 'Great American Novel' and the 'Great American Thriller', trying to regain my figure painting skills and walking the dog. Life's pretty damn good.

Well i was a bricklayer up until last september when i retired ; but got pissed off with nothing to do until I got a phone call due to a recommendation when a company was letdown and was asked to build a Bio-mass boiler complex .
When that was finished with the help of David Mitchell they asked me to run the thing , so here I am at the age of 69 with a career change and in charge of RTS 2 producing wood chip for renewable energy such as hospitals and the like .
So far they have retrained me in Tele handling ,fire marshal , chain saw operation and running a complex bio mass boiler house .
I am in sole charge of a staff of one "myself " in the old kilpatrick hills a 1000 feet above sea level in densely forrested
pine woods with Buzzards ,deer , and even a Golden Eagle for company . Haven't seen what is going to come out in the dark yet but the nights are drawing in so will soon find out soon will post some pics in due course .

Visual artist for forty odd years ( posh-speak for painting pictures for a living) - thirty or so of them as a freelance. Now retired, and thanks
to the rubbish interest rates, currently spending the children's inheritance on fabulous holidays and disgraceful high living.
