[Dujon] Did they tell you to puck off?
My last effort at holding down a job was as an assistant to an optician. It was going OK, but then I was framed.

[Dunx] No, but my old colleagues didn't half give me some stick!
After that I tried being an electrical salesman. That only lasted until the company found I didn't have the proper connections.

I quickly moved to flogging fridge magnets, but it wasn't really my field.

From there it was to electrical componentry, but customer resistance was high and, anyway, I found I just didn't have the necessary capacity.

After that (and this was a buzz) I became an apiarist, but had to resign when I found I had hives.

I got a mariners' ticket and a job as first mate, but that foundered when one of my seamen rocked the boat.

At one stage I worked for an pest exterminator, but I got the flick, man. Aussie's only will get that - unless a certain company operates in the U.K. and N.Am. regions.

I also had a job as a circus clown, but had to leave in rather 'funny' circumstances.

Sorry, I forgot: I used to have a catering job with Virgin Airlines ... I was grounded when I didn't serve the cherries. ... coat ...
