What do you do for a living?

[Cyberman]

I mentioned this in my intro thread but I'll repeat it here. I am an ex-Civil Servant, working (bloody hard) for the DWP. I regarded it as a true career, in the sense of "dashing around wildy, randomly, and totally out of control". It was the best and most responsible job I ever had and the happiest time of my life; in fact I have been told, both at the time and since leaving the department, that I was the best and most reliable member of staff they had, and they wish I'd never left (in the words of my - Scottish - ex-line manager, the two (!) people that replaced me were "shite".)

Before that, my jobs mainly involved factory work, packing and suchlike.

At the moment, though, I am officially unfit for any kind of work, on health grounds. I doubt if I ever will be able to work again.

You know it's pretty easy to get a job doing porn my friend. You don't have to look good, have any acting talent, be specifically well endowed....you just have to be able to perform on command, under supervision, and following the "script". I hear it's a shitty job -army buddy of mine-..lol

I read some article somewhere about getting into 'the business' (back when I was interested in such things); I remember the porn director who wrote it saying something like "If you came to me for a interview to be a typist, the first thing I'll ask you to do is do some typing. Being hired to do porn is no different."
