Been in security for about 22 years now, fed up with the job mind you, the understanding of security has not changed in all those years, my passion and an area I still wish to get into is nature and photography, most of my spare time is taken up by this or chasing around the country for rare birds. If you have 5 minutes spare and nothing to do check out my site: http://backinbirdland.blogspot.com
it certainly helps keep me sane ( that and drink and cigars ).
Wow, fantastic website photo's there mate. National Geographic standard if I dont mind saying.
Very interesting too, although not the normal bird pics I look at.
Have survived the amalgamation with another school. Few compulsory redundancies. Several early retirements.
In the democratisation of responsibilities, I have gained.
I will be a Deputy Head of Year instead of a full Head of Year.
I retain my Work Experience Co-ordinator post.
The best bit: I am now the Head of Music - and that is what I wanted.
All of these decided by face-to-face cock fights, interviews, gay stand-offs.
So now we will be a mixed school instead of a girls' school and a boys' school.
It has been decided that we will teach boys and girls in separate classes. I was looking forward to normality - mixed classes - but it is not to be.
I'm am no longer teaching French. I am happy about that. Music is far more lively. It means that my French is MY French from now on, and no longer a tool to be fired at children through a massively flawed assessment system that reminds me of the little boy in Slumdog who falls out of a toilet into a big pool of shit.
Now I can fall in love with French again.
And Music is not considered very important at Westminster. I won't be plagued by government Cybermen too often. I can do my own thing. I can sit around playing electric guitar and record twattery in a small recording studio in my breaks.

Sir.
Is that site all of your making? It is wonderful!
Congratulations on the photography and the writing.
I see you have just been to Dungeness. That's less than 20 miles away from where I live and it is a fascinating place in many, many ways.
Great that you are a cigar man, too.
I'm a Commercial Manager in the construction industry. Currently upgrading and building new electricity substations (400 & 275 kV).
My jobs ok, moneys ok some of the people i work with should have ben culled a long time ago !.
I'd love to be the boss of Hunters & Frankeau, the first to try all the new cuban releases ! or something to do with performance cars.
Been Working in the financial industry for ten years ( got awarded a Mont blanc pen for my service) as a financial advisor.
Would change my job tomorrow if i could find one that paid me the same - i consider that i give sound advice but cant stand having sales targets for products that may not suit my clients. Time for a change!

Well I'm a Design Manager for a company that makes playground equipment. If I had to change I'd still be a designer just I'd work for a large automotive or electronics company, or for a top consultancy... Maybe in the future.
If it was a complete change then I guess I wouldn't go too far wrong with something connected to food or drink in some way, as that seems to be where my other passions mainly lie.
I would have to choose a Food & Travel writer. Getting sent to far flung places off the beaten track to discover what the natives do and what they eat, kind of like Michael Palin but with food.
Although I think I would give the 'Balut' a miss, which is a 3-4 week old rotten fetal duck egg served as a type of fast food in Vietnam/Thailand. Simply crack the top open and enjoy the festering juices of the half formed bird! (reminds me of a woman I went out with once!)
Failing that I would a Customs & Excise person so I could let all your parcels through!!
Incidently my love of travel probably stems from the fact I always wanted to marry a woman like Judith Chalmers........ as she was never at home!
I would like to have been a park ranger in a large park, with a top end mountain bike, air rifle with night vision [not to shoot animals], fishing rods, radio and a shed somewhere on situ.
Nice and simple job, no gaffers on my case, no headaches, just look after park and wildlife.
Don't think it pays that well though, so it can be something to aim for in a few more years when Im 64, ummphh.
Writer probably, as I'm too old to be a footballer, cricketer or rock star, and don't have the equipment to be a porn star .
Either comedy or murder mystery. Intend to have a serious bash at it when I can whip up the determination.
