I work as a brain surgeon, but have been trying my hand as an astrophysicist.

I also have a Michelin star but I don't like to brag.
 
My mates a postman, he hates it that it's changed times now, as he can't get to the Newcastle games as he finishes later.

I remember when my post used to come in the mornings, now they come at 2pm and that's usually when everyone's out so if you have a parcel they take back and you have to ring up just so they can send it back at the exact same time!
 
I'm one of those hated banker types. My job description is Risk Analyst.

Done a number of other financial jobs involving accountancy (management, trust, fund and company), trust company administration, fund administration and client relationship management. Long time ago was a civil servant where I was also an accountant, payroll officer, immigration officer, traffic management officer and general administrator. Loads of different jobs really.

Yeah, it's annoying when you have to go and pick it up, even though they are only open certain times of the day...which generally means your at work yourself.

To be fair to my postman, he nearly always leaves it with a neighbour or in the back garden or something like that.

Absolutely <laugh> <ok>

But what can you do? After a while you get caught in a money trap and can't afford to find anything more interesting. Last twenty years of my working life have been as boring as hell and the next twenty two will be even worse but the mortgage doesn't pay itself! :(

My job is less exciting, I can guarantee that, and I've got at the very least another 43 years of it to look forward to. I'm hoping one day that my dream job will just jump up and slap me in the face.

Hope it does fella! <ok> Hopefully before you get trapped in an earning trap by a mortgage and wife/kids ... but on the other hand its your dream job so it should pay ****loads!

My mortgage will be paid off in about nine years. Then i'll be out the door and looking for something more enjoyable or shorter hours (preferably both) quicker than a Mackem leaves the Derby at half time!
