Job Satisfaction
I love my job, but today I feel even better about it than normal.
I've been working on some big cases that contain some REALLY nice kit. A 52 inch plasma screen, dvd console and satellite uplink. I'd done a couple of similar ones a few days ago. I knew they were for the MOD but that was all. Today a couple of guys turned up to take a look at them, and I overheard one of them say to my boss 'These will be in Iraq by the end of next week' Whatever your thoughts on the rights or wrongs of the Gulf War, those are our lads and lassies out there doing their jobs, and if my job helps in some small way to make things out there a bit more comfortable................I'm over the moon. Sorry.................just wanted to share my good feelings today

I always feel a sense of pride when I'm doing stuff for the MOD. I kind of have a vested interest too, as my daughter plans to make a career in the army. She's been a cadet for three years and will sign up in two years time, after she's done her A levels.
