My official title is: Business Development Director.

However my job is to sit on my !Removed!, either playing games on the internet, Xbox One or looking at NSFW sites (The beauty of being the director, I can look at !Removed! during work hours)

Though the majority of my work, is managing customer servers and data solutions.

By running your own business.

As long as nothing goes wrong with our customer servers, I pretty much do nothing all day every day.

After 36 years I may have missed a few, it’s not an exhaustive list but let’s just say anything with a lock on it!

Resource Analyst for British Gas..............Please don't abuse me, it pays for my Focus

Resource Analyst for British Gas..............Please don't abuse me, it pays for my Focus

The only British Gas people I dislike are: meter readers who threaten legal action and come back with the Police because you refused to let them read the meter...the meter that is bolted to the wall right next to the div (this was when I was a baby, Mum took great pleasure in watching the coppers tear a strip off the idiot and threaten him with wasting Police time).

Oh, and the prats who send out the smarmy "It appears you've forgotten to pay your bill" letters...no, I didn't forget anything - you already had my details for setting up a DD...

haha, gotta love that kind of thing.

Drives me barmy when meter readers come to your house unanounced. Our dining room is just a storage room and the meter is under the stairs. They come in unannounced, offer you a chance for them to come back (fair enough!) then dont come back - they then tell their superiors you refused, so they come back unannounced again weeks later when your house is back in order, and the process repeats.

My mother in law got a letter threatening legal action if she didnt let them in - so she phoned up and said "make an appointment to come see me, I will have it ready and if you turn up you can read the meter", duly they come on time, pull out the porta pc and go "right, the reported usage is XYZ, and the actual usage is.... XYZ..... Oh....." I love it when they suddely get a realisation they were going to take the act to court over an honest customer and they go very sheepish!

If you want the bleedin meter reading, make a bleedin appointment! its not hard! As a rule I would generally and happily refuse access to anyone claiming to be a meter reader on the street. Fake ID is very easy to come by these days and can be impossible to differentiate from the originals...

I sympathise if anyone here is a meter reader :p and if you live in Kent, well.... you will know me when you see me :D

I'm not the guy who prints letters asking you for money, nor the guy who knocks on your door asking for a meter reading, they are outsourced anyway.

I just work out how many people we need to deal with demand from customers. Quite possibly one of the most boring jobs ever.

I love a good spreadsheet though ☺

If I told you I'd have to kill you

Work as a manufacturing engineer in a big factwee. Has it's moments.

Briefly on the British Gas subject it was their fitter putting in our 'smart' meter that really wound me up. Despite our boiler being regularly inspected and serviced also by BG, he insisted on almost condemning it saying the external vent was in the wrong place, then had a moan about the cooker and various other things too :rolleyes:
