Yeah, 2009/10 Q7.

Most of the design was already done, I finished it and prepped it for production.

know far to many people like it, i would say 90% of people i knew went in to it for a love of cars etc, and its just really fucked them over, and so may people regret not getting out, why i havent got a morgage etc and can afford (to a degree) a risk into the unknown thought it was worth a go

I'm a train dispatcher for arriva trains wales, waving the trains off, telling punters platforms etc.
I do enjoy it some days, and some days I hate it. Have a good laugh, plenty of totty to eye up in the summer/friday and saturday nights lol. But the shifts mean you get very few weekends off and can get very monotonous at times. And whinging punters... grrr I hate working in customer service lol!

Would like to go for a drivers job eventually but I'm having doubts if that's really what I want to do.

Couldn't agree more, ive just come out of five years as a Service Advisor, Parts, Warranty and it was all for fuck all. Made the company hundreds or thousands of pounds making up dodgy warranty claims and dodging bullets from the auditors coming round every month.

And after it all realised i was wasting my time.

started a new job on monday, I'm doing insulation on machines for subsea oil extraction, quite a cool job as its all liquidised rubber and stuff. Also doing a bit of spraying, the money is great but I work 12 hour shifts and its 4 on 4 off.
