I NEED to change my job!!!

[HappyHippyDad]

I have just spent 14 hours working on a detox wing with screaming, shouting fighting prisoners.

Had to give CPR to someone who had taken too many horse tranquilisers and dish medication out to over 90 prisoners who nearly all shout at you. Sow up self cut wounds, listen to horror stories and deal with massively understaffed prison officers who are all stressed!

Compared to....... listening to radio 2 whilst spending the day finding a neutral/earth fault and changing a CU..... which I loved!

I need to do my NVQ and become a proper electrician.... I am going to track one of you guys down one day and make you let me tag along!!

Now I need a beer. :willy_nilly:

That's quite the shift that! I'm usually dealing with the apprentice singing in the van which is horrifying! Out of interest why were you dishing out the CPR and sewing up wounds?

Are you doing community service for doing something illegal you forgot to tell us about?

I'm not a proper electrician BigDav..(Electrical Trainee). Main job is a nurse (in a prison) and I need to change it!

Sometimes I think prison would be a bit of a break Marvo. The prisoners have 3 meals a day, no bills, a gym and can pretty much do as they please! Of course that doesn't take into account the lack of freedom... which I wouldn't like!

Ah my mistake. Apologies. Fair play to you must be super difficult. Anytime you're in edinburgh you can come in the van with me no problems. As long as you sing better than the laddy then your in!!

Okay two questions:

Trousers tucked into socks?

And why is there a toilet roll in your living room?

 

[tazz]

Steve, I did not know that, thought you was at it full time. Fair play to you, and if I was still contracting you could of tagged along with me.:stooge_curly:

Is that an Ibanez Steve?
It's very pretty. I'm a Takemine man myself, if I could afford one I'd have a Taylor
I prefer Neil Young's version from the Weld album to Dylan's. Even though I love Dylan desperately.

Its a Washburn Trev (£500, bought for me by an ex-girlfriend who was a millionaire.... why did I finish it!). My main guitar is my classical nylon but I do like the sound of steel sometimes! I had you down as an electric guitar man Trev! I just seem to remember some old threads where you talked about rock I think?

Cheers Dave, thats good of you. Bedford wouldn't have been too far either!

Steve, I rock like a mofo but I'm busy teaching myself classical. Andres Segovia is a god to me, Christopher Parkening makes my jaw hit the floor. Etc. etc.
I'm doing it from tabs because I can't read a note. The older I get the wider my taste in music gets, I'm listening to stuff now that the 20 year old me would have laughed at.
At the bottom of me though, I'm still a 17 year old metal head. The only difference now is that I don't just write things off.

I had an electric Washburn years ago. It got stolen after a gig, I was devastated because it was a lovely guitar.
