As soon as you said the Orcas eye was as big as a truck wheel your little credibility was shot. Quit the bullshitting

Nah, just been fortunate to experience a few unusual and interesting occupations and also a few stints in crap ones. For a variety of reasons including injury redundancy and company closures I've never been able to remain in the same role (longest stint including training time is 9 years which is unusual for working people). Sick of retraining all the time now tho, pain in the arse. Have to do it again shortly most likely, unsure what will be on the cards going forwards.
@7mmwsm kind of nailed it, I would have preferred a more stable work history rather than bouncing everywhere but am fortunate enough to have come out of it well enough.
As far as marine, used to own a charter boat which was a pretty good gig. RENA killed that though, literally - had inquiries and bookings the day before the ship grounded and woke up to basically everything stopped. Sold the boat after a couple of years of it sitting idle. Ended up working on the salvage tho, swings and roundabouts.

No you misunderstood (or maybe I didn't clarify enough) - that was the comment old mate made about it while his arse was doing unusual things underwater and he was making funny noises after just turning around and seeing a bloody great killer whale checking him out. As I said the story gets more animated and bigger every time he tells it - I have a feeling it made an impression on him haha.
