What's your occupation ?

:D Perhaps we'd better have a new topic started Nathan, 'GP Medics' :D

 

Got to admit neither of us now has any class (es) since we both retired early from education a couple of years ago. Me as a Headteacher Mrs W as a Senior Teacher. Though I did once upon a time have a 'real job' doing underground work for the government as a mining electrical engineer.
Now just filthy rich, travelling and gardening. (Only one of the adjectives is true!)

 

Hi, Dave W ... teaching ... ???? I worked in "education" for years ... is GM a nasty word to you ???? :D :D :D

Whoops, just noticed you're in Scotland .. no link?

 

There are quite a lot of us ex-teachers on here - can't think why... :rolleyes: Try and spot the others, LoL!

 

This is all a bit intimidating........all these ex teachers.......watching over us......
Still it was all a long time ago.
Yes Miss Dendrobium........

 

In house advisor is a teaching assistant (which now seems to involve some teaching) junior is at a secondary school in Dorchester doing teacher training (helping in German and Spanish) for three weeks, so I am surrounded by school talk. :(
then I bore them by telling them about all these wonderful peolpe on GC. :D

 

Nurturing gardens is very like nurturing kids. Give them space to grow, feed them what they need and keep them 'weed' free and they'll bloom.

Though with gardens you don't have the useless paperwork, politicians changing the layout of your plot every few months and parent plants blaming you when their offspring fails to thrive.

......................

Love kids, but could never finish a whole one. :D

 

And they don't answer back! (although some do register disapproval, like roses, berberis and other spiney ones!)

Oh, and remember, there is no such thing as a problem - only a challenge! :D

 

Occupation - physiotherapist
Speciality - backs and necks & medical insurance whiplash!

 

:( Heck fmay..I wished we lived closer! :rolleyes:

 

I was a recovery nurse like michaelmasdaisy. I loved the job and would go back tomorrow if I could. However, I developed a latex allergy and I have anaphylactic shocks because of it. I find it quite restricting, but it cannot bother me to much in the garden ( I know which plants I cannot grow because of the allergy).

I am currently an occupational health nurse, but I am looking at retraining in something else like teaching before I get too old! I quite fancy being a science teaher!
:D :D

 

Gosh, there are a lot of ex teachers are there not? Well include me too, ex primary teacher. I had to retire very early due to illness (48!!!!!). Well it is hard to teach when you cannot speak for the pain in ones guts. So we downsized and since then have created the garden some of you have seen in the Photo albums. Now we are gently watching it die!

 

Spent all my life in one business or another my last one before became ill was a trade refuse co,sold out to a major comcern when got ill,with all these ex teachers on board will have to watch my grammer :rolleyes:

 

Grammer? macleaf .... that was a joke?

My son is in Germany for three weeks working voluntarily at a christian hostel in the Black Forest to improve his German, guess what?... all the guests this week are English! (sods law comes to mind) :D
