Re: What do you do? (9 to 5)
I jumped off the rat wheel in October. I spent 21 years bowing and scraping to the plethora of punters who were my customers on Qantas International flights. I was a Flight Attendent, hehehe..... I laugh now because I am freeeeeee........ Hey, it wasn't that bad, got a lot of people p*$#@ed and had a good time. I'm sure you were on my flight
but now, I trade full time, and as hairy as that is, I love it, and learning heaps from you guys, thanks!
Cheers

Re: What do you do? (9 to 5)
I sit in front of this computer, in my home office, in an apartment above Brunswick St, Fitzroy, between 9 and 5 these days.
I get up at about 6.30am and usually go to Hunts Gym on Johnston St with my girlfriend Rach and then go to a cafe for a coffee and read the Fin.
I'm on the computer by 8.30/9 ish and then chat to you guys all day. I sometimes go down to the street to a cafe to meet a friend, or Rach for lunch, or if I'm feeling crazy, go for a run or walk in Carlton Gardens.
Tuesday nights I go to Army. I am the Officer Commanding the 6th Health Company as part of 4th Combat Service Support Battalion in Melbourne. I'm in charge of about 60 health professionals ranging from doctors, to psychologists to paramedics. Army takes up about 2 days of my week. I used to be full time Army, having spent 13 years in the Army Medical Corps. I used windfalls from service with the UN in Rwanda and East Timor, and a superannuation payout, to invest in some good funds and stocks over the past 10 years, which now give me the freedom to play.
The rest of the time I'm drinking red wine. Like now.

Re: What do you do? (9 to 5)
Interesting thread. Some interesting lives. I wouldn't change mine for any I've seen yet so I must be lucky. I describe myself as retired but I have done that for over 40 years now. Retired is doing what you want to do, when you want to do it. Before I "retired" I had amanagement job with hundreds of people under my control and only two above. One day I decided there was more to life than spending the day doing 3 things. Settling disputes, signing my name, or "scheming". I left what my rellies said was a good future to do my own thing. Life wasn't easy but mostly always interesting.
What do I do 9 to 5. If the weather is good I may go fishing. When the world wearies and life doesn't satisfy there is always the garden (and I have a big one). If the weather is no good I will spend a little more time on the net. I often think I will write a book as I have had an interesting and varied life but never seem to get the time. I guess there is another 9 to 5 tomorrow so we will see what the day brings, ( the boat if fuelled up and there is bait in the fridge)

Re: What do you do? (9 to 5)
I could never be a retard, as Borat would say. I start bouncing off the walls if I don't do anything for a day or two.

Re: What do you do? (9 to 5)
Hmmm.. Wouldn't consider it a 9 - 5, however it's how I earn a crust so I guess it counts..
Electrician in the (Royal Australian) Navy.. Joined at 16 and now find myself approaching the '25 years of service' mark.. Spent the majority of first 20 years maintaining/operating the weapon systems of the FFG (Oliver Hazard Perry) class, like the MK 75 76mm Gun, MK 13 Guided Missile Launching system.. Torpedo's/Decoys etc etc.. then changed over to the 'Dark Side' and have looked after the 'Fire Control' system, which is the search/designation radars and computers that calculate ballistics and 'point' the weapons at the target, since..
Spent a lot of time away overseas on various Ships, and had a number of overseas postings.. certainly can't complain its been great, but it's a young mans game and I'm starting to get on a bit..
Dabbled in the stockmarket for a number of years, however not seriously invested until about this time last year..
I've 'lurked' in this forum for some time, however really only contribute to 'General Chat' as i don't yet feel qualified to post in the 'stock' sections.. Have learned a great deal from this site though..
Regards,
Buster

I don't get the reference. And I was just taking the piss out of the role of army docs.

Re: What do you do? (9 to 5)
I'm struggling trying to fill 9 to 5. When I do it, Contract Painting with my brother in law is how it gets filled.
I have two young children whose needs grow as they do. Money seems to get tighter every week the way things are going. (Rent, food, fuel, bills) I have long been lured by the market but have never been a gambler and value my (small) capital enough to be very picky with what I do with it in the market until I learn enough to be confident in my choices.
Considering moving back to home town of Melbourne for better opportunities and extended family although feel like a country boy at heart.
Considering training for new career. Have done sales, farming, labour, mostly crap with no papers required.
Time for a turnaround
