I used to be an IT systems administrator for the Dutch Secretary of Defense, but I had a stroke a little over a year ago...
That was just 3 months before my contract ended, so I haven't worked since January 25th, 2008.
I spent a lot of time recovering and now I am about to try and get to work again (with help of a reintegration center, who specialize in helping people like me who suffer from stroke related brain damage..)
I know it could have been a lot worse, but I definetly have damage....
The current economic climate doesn't help either, but hey...I'm a survivor, right?

I work for a large chain of supermarkets. I'm a Teamleader Space Ranger ( I love saying that!!) Basically I am in charge of space for our store and am the annoying bugger who continually moves things around to make you all spend more money!!
Small department I only have 4 staff and we work through the night - always worked for the same company and before that I ran checkouts and wore a rather fectching head mic.

Congratulations on pulling through. Good luck with getting back to work, hopefully you'll have little trouble getting settled back into a job.

I'll agree with the earlier statements, nice to see a wide variety of talents, some impressive jobs held by members here.

This is where I bring things down...... I work in a supermarket haha. It's not too bad, there are definitely much worse jobs out there. Then again, I don't hope to still be there all my life.

You could always aspire to be a Teamleader Space Ranger while there! That is one cool title if I had ever hear one!

i used to blow things up for a living

but got bored of that just a little over a year of doing it

now i drive big trucks and operate machinery on the mine site i USED to blow shit up on

the machines there are bloody massive, as you could imagine, being a mine site and all, just to give u an idea on how big they are : the trucks we drive, i cant even JUMP and touch the top of the wheel RIM, and im 6'1 tall! need to walk/climb up big ladders on the front of the machines to get access to the cabs etc

they are a little over 100 TON (not TONNES) and wen they are fully loaded they carry 150 TON of dirt/ore, making it a 250 TON machine ur cruising around in!

I would love to blowshit up for a living!! There are some fantastic jobs people here have, mine? Im a healthcare assistant for the elderly, a job you get no thanks for, shitty pay, and get bitten, spat at, kicked, punched, scratched, they try and get you sacked by making shit up, paints a different picture to the sweet little old people most believe the elderly are!
