Other Jobs

[scouse]

Thought it would be good to find out what people do when there not busy with the electrical industry, I.e. kitchen fitting, handyman etc

I personally do anything that is going as long as the money comes in (apart from plumbing as I got fed up getting very wet)

Wow, you get time to do other stuff.......

Other job? what other job??

I, for one, am so busy I hardly have time to fart. Never mind do a second job.

When I was still in the auto industry I used to service cars for people. I still do all my own vehicle maintenance to cut the cost.

I'm manic at the moment and have been for a long time now

So when I do get a quiet day besides racking my mind as to what I've forgotten to do

I just take a nice slow deep breath and chill out!

Well I manage our two rental properties. Not that takes much doing as there's nothing to do until something needs fixing at one or other of them.

And I help out Mrs PD with the B&B

For the last 3 years I have been too busy with my business to even have a life! Did spend the last 18 years working every thurs - sat night as a head doorman in some lovely booby bars. Funny though, was never about the money!

Funny that Cirrus I'm sure I bumped into you and heard you shouting "show me the money"

Well to put the thread back omn track

Work has dried up

spending today on my CV ,,,,,,going to agencies to get some sort of site work

problem is the rates are ok but its the cost of getting there,,,,petrol costs

looking to do some temporary night work

to be honest im getting p#ssed off with the industry,,,,,

feeling worthless,,,,,always being undercut

i would be better off finding a job that pays
