I used to be able to switch jobs within our mob, so if you got fed up, then as you state it keeps you fresh and interested, but it's no longer possible, due to changes in employment contracts and departments being split off and merged with other agencies.
I've been doing this job in one form or fashion since 1984, and I still get a buzz from it, although it's not like it was in the 80s. It's a very niche job, and due to my experience, I'm one of a rare breed.
