I work at the head office of Tesco.
<waits for the booing to die down>
My role is a Vendor Manager in Supply Chain in the 'Health & Beauty' dept. ensuring that our DCs have a constant flow of stock from some of the major suppliers. I mainly cover baby, nursery and healthcare, so some of my biggest suppliers are Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Unidrug, Nicepak (they make all the baby wipes), and Philips Cannon Avent.
Its mainly lots of ordering, forecasting, managing promotional activities, lots of meetings and visits to our DCs and suppliers.
I work with some really nice people and the 'freebies' are good and Tesco looks after its staff quite well too (probably contrary to what most people would think).
So if you go to the supermarket and there aren't any babywipes you know who to blame!

I am a Sister on a surgical vascular ward and yes I work for the infamous NHS..

We care for a varied array of post-op surgical patient's from varicose veins..Aneurysm repairs..amputations..

I will message you BB and let you know hehe..

I work in a high school with kids who have social, emotional and behaviour problems. This can range from kids who truant and we have to find ways of getting them back into school, kids who aren't particularly academic and i arrange for them to spend most of their timetable at College doing things like Engineering or Construction or Hairdressing.

Then we have children who have major behaviour problems either in school, at home or both, and kids who don't have any social skills so find it difficult to mix with their peers. And i work with children who have been abused, kids in care.......oh the list is endless!!!

Oh, and i love everyday of it.

That's good. it isn't important what job you actually do, it IS important to enjoy what you do though.
This thread is beginning to look like a (relatively small) yellow pages, could come in handy when looking for advice....

Well there was one sad chap who used the following line about my work when chatting up women.
"I can't tell I've signed the OSA" (official secrets act).
It never worked of course.

And no its not what you think....

well from 16 until i was about 28 i worked for Arnold Clark (give and take maternity leave ) as a service receptionist - started in Norwich Union call centre selling travel insurance - has to have been the best job in the world it sold itself - got pensioned off 2 years ago because of ill health M.E

I miss that job

I'm a soon-to-be-redundant Lab Technician.

Nothing worthy or life-enhancing, I'm afraid. I work on small-bore tubes for the automotive industry. Oh Gawd......

tim

I own my own company making nets for a billion different industries. Its a family company and I got dragged into it after Uni, and its my turn now to take over the reins.

I work as test engineer for a well known Anti-Virus or security and control company as they liked to be called. My job is to test every aspect of newly built software from throwing live computer viruses at it to ensuring that it works on different operating systems, my work varies a lot and I quite often move between projects.
