I'm an aircraft engineer. Spend my days & nights having my coffee drinking time interrupted by pilots/hosties and passengers for breaking things.

Sounds like you have an interesting job!

A car mechanic for planes is basically what it is. Apart from there lots more paperwork and many, many rules.

Must be quite impressive to work on aeroplanes, although very highly pressured?? With all the rules, it must be so important to get things absolutely spot on, very little tolerance for errors?

Hope we never see you on an episode of Aircraft Investigation then...
Seriously, what a massively pressurised job, don't envy you at all!

Yeh there can be times where there's a lot of angry people trying to shout at you. There is times where you do need to be mega careful, but a lot of the time they're surprising tough. I know it sounds bad but you can quite often be amazed that things haven't fell off or burst.

Thanks, I hope that too! It would be a pretty rubbish day at work that's for sure.

It is, but only because we bring it in ourselves, the stuff you usually get on planes is rank. That's the test of a good engineer, are they a coffee connoisseur.

Property Management and I own a cycling clothing company called Keep Your Foot On that's aimed at Mtb and bmx, my other passion.

So if anyone wants clothes of any type, I can no doubt get you it very cheap.

See - thats why your an Engineer on a different level to me.

I prefer a Firefox digestive myself

 

[Chris]

lol didn't even notice. This new iOS I'm sure it adds bloody words in I don't want.

Chocolate hobnob is a good choice: but a little mainstream Chris. Solid - but lacks a hint of flair......

Lemon puffs, Florentine (Google those puppies !) and Fox's crunch creams is where its at for me.

[Pav]

Data analyst-type person at a university. Basically our team are responsible for the upkeep and integrity of all computerized records kept at the Uni (student records, curriculum, exams etc.). Not the most fun in the world, but it's really a stop-gap as I'm studying part-time to become a primary school teacher.
