What do you do for work?

Hey guys,

Out of interest, I just wanted to see what everyone does for work to earn $ to spend on their Mazda's.

I'm currently working for a Building company that specialises in residential home extensions and rennovations. I work in the Admin side of things like Council applications etc and I also do alot of CAD (Computer Aided Design) work where we draw up the plans etc for clients and council's. I'm also just starting to learn some of the structural engineering side of things too.

Also study part-time at uni while working, it makes life hectic but im sure its all worth it in the end.

Im the manager of a retail computer store in Brisbane.
I have been working in the PC industry for 8 years.

What this involves is rather varied as we sell all things PC or notebook related,
I fix and build pcs and notebooks I order stock, I serve customers and sometimes have answer the most ridiculous questions and .

But basically what I do all day is surf the net or watch TV/movies/youtube all day,

store-man for my fathers hydraulics company,
basically i do anything and everything i get told by the logistics manager or workshop manager. or the boss (my fathers business partner, dont work under my father - any work he has for me goes through one of the others) mostly involves courier work (gotta love when u have a 4 hour drive to give a client one hose or fitting) and cleaning the workshop or organizing the store. only work 9am to 3pm unless needed otherwise

thats what my boss said...

"so in a corporation this big... this sort of opportunity doesn't come up often... and with us opening the new store towards the end of the year, this means you don't have to re-apply. its job security. its a good deal. take it."

lol!
