I'm a teacher for English, German, Politics, History, and Economy at a vocational college (I hope you understand, I had to look it up in a dictionary - though I'm an English teacher...). But I know it's something like Dartford Technical School or Sidcup Art School. So I teach some louts like Keith R, Eric C and John L who want to become butchers and nursery school teachers to buy music with real musicians and therefore burn their Eminem and Puff D (or whatever he calls himself now, he's even worse in that than that LA support act in 1978...) records because that leads to unemeployment among musicians. Even more so: I use Chris Jagger's "Stand up for the Foot" (Backing vocals by Mick) to explain the different measures (Chris told me his very English but somehow convincing opinion about that!) in the US, UK and the rest of the world. And: We had to a lesson about drugs and so I picked "In Another Land" and "Sister Morphine" as an introduction for pro and con examples.

That's very funny! I was fishing last year, and a guy came asked me for a license. I said "How can you ask me such a thing on this beautiful Sunday?" And he gave it up, and walked away.
I am an Adminstrative Coordinator( Stock Clerk) at local University in the USA. I was also in a band for 10 years, I played drums, and been a Stones fan for a long time. Great to be a part of the forum here, you all are great Stones fans. I am glad to be able to chat to you all.

we could use you here in chicago - no one recycles. a very backward city.
I've been a factory worker in the printing industry for the last 25 years. For the last 2 years I've been working 7pm to 7am, 4 days on...4 days off. In all those years never once have I been involved in printing a Stones related book.

It sounds like a pretty good schedule - get the work over with, get a four day weekend. Do you like it?
I constantly go back and forth on this because I don't HAVE to do it. I could opt for a more traditional work week doing the same job. The 4 days on can be a bit trying. The nights are long and you really don't have time to do anything outside of work/sleep. It sure is nice when the 4 days off roll around though. However your weekend can be Monday thru Thursday. It changes weekly with one day difference each time around. M-Th, Tu-Fr, Wed-Sat, etc. So far, 2 years later, I have chosen to stick with it.

I am now unemployed. The Property Management job didn’t work out. The problem with me is that I think I’m going for jobs, which require a little more experience than I actually have. The problem is that from the advertisement, you sometimes just can’t tell.
I worked for the Civil Service for 5 years and it’s set me up for jack.
I’m seriously considering curtailing my CV s little as I think its giving potential employers the wrong impression. Then again, if I’m beating people in interviews…
My main occupation is a degenerate internet gambling addict. Sometimes I do architectural design in my underware in the "computer room" located just across the hall from my bedroom. With a 50 year streak of bad luck still in progress its a good thing I don't need to buy clothes or gasoline.
Ex music teacher, gone back to just being a musician. May have cheated by buying property in the late 50's in london and selling it a couple of years back so i could stop teaching.
