I'm working for the government as a referent for administrative/law jobs, and with my degree as an IT Technician I am ALMA MATER for computers, can't say I'm dissapointed.
Anyways, for bigger paychecks and moar money I'm moving to Austria next year. Hopefully everything will end well.

Ex Army man 1975. Various jobs until I started working in the security industry. Ended up as an Assistant Building manager in charge of security 13 years ago. I retired (65) 5 months ago and am now a man of leisure with the odd occasion of getting an ear bashing by the wife but being married for 40 years come December I have got use to that. Living in a middle floor flat so no garden duties like cutting the lawn or weeding. We have three grandson's, 8,7 & 1 year old to keep me and the wife happy and on our toes. Life is sweet at the moment, don't have to get up for work at 04.10am anymore and do a 12 hour shift Monday-Friday. Weird though, I go to bed not too late but still wake up around 04.00am in the morning. This old body alarm clock of mine just won't switch off. |

I was engaged for about a year and it fell apart..due to my work commitments and tbh 'other' activities ..the industry I work in makes it hard to be a family man. Most of the guys I work with are either divorced or have never been married and these are top engineers. I've still got time on my hands though hoping to sort it out before big 30!. |

Sometimes I have to get things signed off from the electrical engineers. Do you work on the electricity network? |

Most of the guys I work with are either divorced or have never been married and these are top engineers. I've still got time on my hands though hoping to sort it out before big 30!. I don't know how old you are. I was 25 when I met my wife 1974 in the army in Dortmund, Germany. I guess this old saying is true 'Love at first sight'. It was a whirlwind romance really and we both got married after 3 month's of courting. Maybe in 1974 were different too now days. We have had our up's and down's but that is what marriage is about. I don't believe all this " We have been married for 40/50 years and have not had an argument in that time." Man, me and the wife has yelled at each other but I have not laid a finger on her. I would never hit a lady. But it's not fair really as she has tossed plates at me, hit me over the head with a fry pan and what not, kicked me in the nuts. But I expect that as she is Scottish and has a right Scottish temper. |

You haven't been in a real relationship until you'd had kitchen implements/crockery thrown at you.

You haven't been in a real relationship until you'd had kitchen implements/crockery thrown at you. True that. I remember when video recorders first came out and the remote control was the size of a brick and heavy. I was working down South then and one night I got pissed as a newt. Woke up the next morning and went too work, hangover too boot. I was working in a factory that did truck tyre remoulding. Hard and heavy work but the money was good. All day I was walking around with a big bruise on top of my head. I could not remember the night before so I took it that I must have hit my head on a truck tyre when tossing them around during the working day. I got home that night and the wife was sitting watching TV, my daughter, then 14 was sitting there doing her high school homework. I then said too the wife "Bloody hell. Must have hit my head on a tyre at work and its bloody sore" and showed her the lump. My daughter then said without looking up from her homework, "No dad. You were drunk last night and annoying mum so she hit you on the head with the remote control." I just stared at the wife and said "Thanks a bunch. That's me walking around at work all day thinking I had banged my bloody head on a truck tyre." Thank fuck remote controls now days are small and light but even when they are thrown at you they bloody hurt when they hit you. All fun in 'love and war' married life. |
