Hated this job it basically involved setting up the bouncy castle, lying down and letting kids kick the shit of me.
Assistant Manager - Budgens, October 03 - April 04
My first full time job, didn't want to go into retail but couldn't find anything else to do.
Manager - The Co-Operative group, April 04 - December 04
Couldn't become manager at Budgens so changed company and could finally be in charge of running a store into the ground (it closed 3 months after I "left")
Senior Systems Controller - BOC Gases/The Linde Group/T-Systems, February 05 - Present
3 different companies for the same job. It was BOC Gases when I started, then Linde bought BOC and now I'm being outsourced to T-Systems.
My job basically entails a lot of systems monitoring and waiting for things to go wrong. Obviously I have a lot of downtime because of this so I spend a lot of it here. Sometimes I get so bored though that I find things to do, like recently I've been building Servers, removing old servers and dismantling old server racks as they become empty.
[HIGHLIGHT]Occasionally I'll get to do some Sysadmin work. But most of the time it's pretty routine and dull. I am overpaid and underworked, and love it.[/HIGHLIGHT]
