What do you do?

With it a more quieter evening in a while, i thought I'd ask the question as to what do you do in terms of career?

I'm the process of moving jobs and starting a new role in a couple of weeks time. I was head hunted on LinkedIn by a rival company and they offered me a package i couldn't refuse.

I expect the usual 606 wums but serious and truthful responses please.

Btw Im a Senior Project Manager for a Defence Engineering company.

Also is there an exact point in life that you decide that you are now a grown up and start becoming boring and not having any fun anymore? What age would you recommend that I do this? Is there like a specific date I can plan for to decide to make my life boring and unfun? Would be good to know in advance I guess.

It's a means to an end ofcourse but does anyone hate their job?

Indifference would be the word. Very boring stuff, but I don't have to work hard, have a gym in the building, I never think about my work after 4pm and I'm home by 415 on the days I'm in the office.

Also "what do you do?" When someone asks me this I never answer with what I do for work. As if a job defines "what you do" in life.

What does everyone actually do?

Play golf (badly), consume the occasional Guinness, run, listen to metal and travel when I can to see Metallica

Irish has this spot on.
