    I was a drainage inspector for Anglian Water (new builds) and simultaneously a director for my own Ltd company selling goods online until 2 1/2 years ago.
    Now I live in Thailand I do not officially do anything.

    Ok, so not606 is hardly the place to network, but what sort of things do you do as part of your job? (I'm a chemistry student looking to go into research, ideally industrially)

    I start a good +3GMT over the UK so get to see the end of people's rants post defeat and the beginning of their apologies during my mid-morning coffee break. It's like living on the effing International Date Line. Love it though and very cathartic.

    Instead of what I put earlier, I was told this afternoon at 3pm that my job was redundant. Just been bought out by a rival company. Trouble is, with my socialist outlook on life and my Trade Union background, I'm not the yes man my new employers want to treat the staff I manage like ****e.
    So until I officially retire in 3 years, the house, garden, ironing, will never have been in better hands, my running will get back to how it was 5 years ago and my golf handicap will drop. And hopefully the weather will improve enough for me to get out on the bike and get some serious distances in. And I might learn to front crawl instead of breaststroke so I can do a tri.

    By all means, but only if you're making a proper effort at a triathlon!
