That brought a smile to my face, as I often say the same thing, lol! :lol:

Sometimes it seems like I'm always picking up after my hubby and two sons. But I get to escape to my other job 30 to 40 hours a week, lol!

I deal with internet abuse for BT. I deal with everything from spammers to people who deliberatly break into other machines to use and abuse them for their own gain.

I also deal with message boards, so if anyone makes a racist, sexist or deflamatory post, adn they use BT as an ISP, it will end up in front of me. Also deal with online fraud, such as phoshing and pharming. Can be very interesting indeed.

i'm a full time family co-ordinator and part time student, i also look after other peoples kids, spend my days playing with play dough, paint, lego and running round the garden playing tig.

Prior to this i also worked in IT support for 9 years, most of which was spent at SLAC in Edinburgh, also worked for Queen Margaret Uni and Capability Scotland.

The worst job i ever had was when i first moved to edinburgh and got a job wrapping lampshades.....boring boring boring.....the best job i ever had was after leaving school, i did volunteer work in a school for children with cerebal palsy and other physical disabilites...they did conductive education which is amazing....and the kids were wonderful......it was one of the most rewarding experiences in my life and volunteering will be something i do again in the future

\Resolving disputes over rights of way and promoting land access rights for anyone without an infernal combustion engine.

Some of the time feels more like a social worker dealing with feuds and community in fighting. Caithness has its share!
