*makes a mental note not to mess with Hazey

Come on, lets have the stories then!

[hazey]

my sister was the first door supervisor in london and ask me to cover for her when she went on holiday,I did and I liked the job.have done it now for over 15 years,recently we had to retrain for a national licence and got a city and guild,so at long last it is reconised as a proffesion.We were the first two females to get the new licence in London and made appearances on the bbc news.....fame at last..

[Jade]

Well done!! Its about time females were recoginsed in a predominately male profession!

[crazygirl]

im a porn star!!!!!!

[debbi]

I work in the advertising section for my local newspaper, I have worked on newspapers since I finished my education about 20 years ago (!!) I started off in journalism but moved into advertising cos theres more money in it !! I really love my job and since moving to this smaller branch office it has become much more personable with all the local people rather than when you work on a national it can be quite cold (bigger office, more people, etc etc) xx

[di marco]

im a porn star!!!!!!

are you joking?

[Katie]

Yes, but we do not generally chase them!

Yeh, I work near a supermarket that is at the top of a hill. People regularly drop their shopping and it is my job to chase after it(especially haggis's because they gain momentum quickly). I also arrange haggis chasing competitions in the summer! Its not that bad a job - it keeps me fit!

wow that sounds like a cool job, prob stressful though?

[Rain_]

it can be when things just don't add up.

[Ella.]

Sounds like a cool job Rain, who do you work for? Do you work for an insurance company or something like that or are you independant?

[Rain_]

i'm an independant investigator. Insurance comapnies contact my company when blame is disputed. We're supposed to work miracles and save them tons of money
