Folloing on from our Heskey's amusing reactions to his job title & the amount of arse doctors we have here (MBH not pointing a finger at you 
)

When working for BMW it was always "oh are you a salesman then" or "do you get a company car?" you could almost see the £'s in their eyes, FFS the money printing days are long gone in car sales.
What you got then?

In fairness she was the only one; most people my age here either can't get a job, or work on tills, stacking shelves etc so they don't have room to laugh. Infact, they envy me (Or so I like to think anyway when I'm in Wacky's basement pretending I'm a somebody, commanding 20000 painted minatures against our cats when Mrs. Wacky's not looking, whilst listening to dramatic classical music)

Miniature Gaming is the way forward. Tell me, what is the meaning of victory?I just tell people I work at the MOD which gets one of 2 responces, either:
'Oooo what do you do?'
or
'Whats the MOD?'
If its the latter I usually walk off as they are too thick or if its the former I just reply 'ahh well see I can't tell you its a secret' and wink (sometimes) seems to work though

Nobody knows what Quantity Surveyors do.
Even fewer seem to knoe what Estimators do although it seems obvious to me...
The first question I get is: "Do yougo offshore" when they learn i'm in the il Industry. When I say no they assume I'm just an accounts clerk or something...

when everyone asks me what I'm studying at college and what I wanna do when I'm older, I tell 'em I wanna get in to Quantity Surveying. None of them know what it is.
I work in research and development making products for videogame consoles... Doesn't have a title per-se as it's a small company and i end up doing everything development related..
Quite a mouthful, I end up just coming out with the catch-all "work with computers" which usually gets retorted by "oh, my printer doesn't work, do you know how to fix it..." or if the listener is being particularly antagonistic "you sit down on your arse all day then.." groan...
