    Ha ha - I love it.
    I will often respond with either "I don't do anything, Im not paid enough for that - my salary only covers my appearance cost. If they want me to do something they would need to pay me more"

    Or "As little as possible"

    So as a one brand painter, your username should really be Wattylido.

    I engage in the act of artfully placing complex forms in remote locations to be photographed for magazine covers aka an architect.

    So you're smelling paint? Is that like snuffing glue?

    I get paid a pittance to feed a young teenager his morning tea, then sit around all hours of the afternoon keeping him entertained until his taxi arrives to take him home. He likes to manipulate the system so fortunately for me he refuses to go to the toilet when I am rostered on his toileting duty. I also teach kids to read and write and do Maths.

    One day last week I went for a drive to Maroochydore and Mooloolabah. This week I am being the personal carer for my 30 year old son. Haven't decided whether I will go to work next week or not. On Saturday I get to do an inspection at one of our IPs.
