I'm a sparky. But lived in NZ and came here for 1 month or so and decided to come, currently and English teacher, I'm happy. Some people give Englidh T shit. But so what?

At least we live here and are not sex tourists.

I'll try that again. I should stay off the computer when i'm pissed.

I'm a sparky. But lived in NZ for a year and came here for 1 month on my way back to the UK. Many places i went to in Thailand had signs saying Teach English. So i thought i could do that. I was pissed off being a sparky.. Some people give English teachers shit. But so what? I enjoy it. I dont just teach English. I also run a couple of football teams at school.

At least we live here and are not sex tourists.

When my wife comments on my driving skills

"I used to be a race car driver"

When she s not feeling well.

"I used to be a doctor"

When I build or paint something.

"I used to be an artist"

Just adapt the line to any situation.

What do I do? As little as possible, anything to avoid getting a real job. Seriously, I've been a writer for about 12 years--no Great American Novels unfortunately, mostly newsletters, business/finance/technology-related stuff, and serving as creator of propaganda for computer companies. All freelance/consultant basis of course, I find it most advantageous to be at least 1,000 miles away from the nearest client.

Project Engineer - offshore oil & gas industry.

Geezzz, I was thinking about getting into the offshore oil & gas industry. It's hard to get into isn't it? How much time do you spend on & off? I did fly in/fly out in Oz mining industry, but don't know much about offshore. If I did it, my wife would probably kill me, although the money might keep her happy.hahaha

Offshore oil and gas industry - Seismic surveys. An ###### of a job. Hope to be permanently retired in about 5 years.

Was on track for full retirement at 49 in 2007 but NOOOOOOO some family members had big ideas about increasing our business in Asia. Ohhhh you can go early and just keep an eye on things....RIGHT.

I now have manufacturing in China and Taiwan, trying to move more of our products here which is a constant struggle. All my old associates also want to source here and I am working harder than ever. Semi retired my @ss. My largest product line is aftermarket motorcycle parts for big V twin cruisers, mostly Harley.

I am looking forward to the day they all leave me alone and I can teach for free.

Thanks guys, really interesting reading. My ulterior motive was to know who to pm when I need things done. I've now got consultants for my parties, my house, my waste disposal, my public relations, my computers, my wife (professorfart, you bugger) and all else.
