Work part time in GameStation, whilst studing arboriculture at college. Seriously, tree, chainsaws, and working outdoors - I can't wait to get paid for that shit.

I worked for a small Orthodox Jewish family business when I was a graphic designer, man... the food they used to bring in and let me try was fucking lush. Bastards made me work Sundays though because I was the only person who wasn't a Jew.

They were sound, they let me smoke weed at work

Stihl FTMFW! I used to use one of these as a labourer.

POWER TOOLS = WIN

Husqvarna, man! Though the Stihl 880 is an absolute machine! Got to handle a pretty beasty one at the APF - pic' below:

I've never touched the Stihls at college, mainly due to a lack of interest. I'm really comfortable with the Husq'.

Any reason why you're not still doing the work?

Christ, how long is that bar, 6ft?

The reason I don't do it any more is quite simple mate, look at the size of your arms, you're as strong as an ox you big bastard! Where as I am a skinny fucker and just haven't got the upper body strength

trap · Post by **trap** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 1:30 pm

I think the bar must be about six foot, as I'm just above that height.

Not for shit on the strength thing though! I'm not that big at all, though I've got a bit of meat on me. I've been doing weights for about 13 months, and if you can commit yourself to that, you'll reap the rewards of the brilliance of that work.

Where the hell's your lid in that picture too, matey

!

Did you go to a college to study it?

firky · Post by **firky** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 1:55 pm

I am too lazy to do weights, I keep thinking about it but I am just far too fucking lazy

I did a course with the national trust and got a couple of certificates, can fell trees up to 15" in diameter. I only really did it because I have a wood burning stove and access to woodland so I went on the courses and got interested in it when people started asking me to do little jobs for them (such as felling that cherry tree).

I think when that was taken I was climbing down and the chainsaw wouldn't be running, got me kevlar pants and gloves on though

I work in a shitty office job doing shitty things for a payroll office for the nhs, but not for much longer, I've handed my notice in and after the end of month, I'll officially be unemployed

haven't got a clue what I'm going to do but as long as it's not sitting at a desk all day then I'll be happy. Thinking I'd like to either help people or learn some kind of skill. I really should have gone to a careers advisor back in school.

firky · Post by **firky** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 5:15 pm

Careers advisers are a waste of time. I didn't know what I wanted to do when I was 16 and at school - over a decade later I still don't know what I want to do. Life's about living and not working, well that's the way I look at it. And that's why I have worked in so many jobs. Think I have found one I like now though

I work as a chemist making inkjet printing ink for niche/specialist applications, like printing metals, enzymes, etc.

dropped out after five years of being a student studying graphics and illustration to live the dream (i saw nothing coming of my degree and so far ive been proved right by mates who graduated). Been writing tunes and promoting. Im about to start teaching kids music production, radio and djing at various schools and youth centres while concentrating on making it as a producer and dj. Its exciting but damn hard as im skint all the fucking time. I have no doubts in my mind that i will make it though... but i guess youve gotta have that mindset if you commit to it and sacrifice as much as i have... having seen what bar 9 have done and continue to do im not too worried hehe...

What do you do?

Who is online
