Haha..... no he doesn't work with vehicles. He is that most hated of creatures, a bank worker
You would not believe the number of people who act like it's his personal fault that we are in the mess we are..... and he only works in admin!!

Very Happy Oh I get it now! It is so ridiculous I know. Same thing with a friend of mine. He's a male cashier in a bank and because he's male, wears a tie and works in a bank it's all his fault according to some people. Ignorance huh

Mines the health and safety manager for an international chemical company and loves his job. Today he's gone off at 5.30 to do a 'bit extra' 3 hours worth - mad - but they are a very good company to work for appreciate their staff.

Mine's a surgeon and a TA medic. So he works about 2 weekends a month. He has to have one weekend of diving, so I get him at home infrequently for any length of time. 😢

Yeah it's tough being apart like that. My DH is off to somewhere hot and sandy in August next year. Dreading it after the last time in the other hot and sandy place that we've left in a mess. Rolling Eyes

At least mine only does it part-time. He's a normal surgeon most of the time. Although this means I lose weekends whereas regulars get to go home if not deployed. He's currently in Weymouth for a week on Annual Camp. Lucky him.

My hub works in highly regulated environments such as pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, nuclear and so on. He makes sure that all the processes are correctly documented :sleep: , usually when they are adding new bits to plants. Exciting huh?

He's usually at home at the moment, working about half an hour from home, just the odd overnight trip to Holland/Germany at the moment. Last job was in N. Lincs, so he was living away in the week.
