I'm Assistant Accountant for a large Mining Equipment Engineering firm in NSW, Australia.
I generally don't mind my job (gets a bit monotonous), and my hours are reasonable 8:30-4:30, unless it's end of month, end of year or anything else hits the fan!
.
Pretty relaxed environment and pays okay so that i can keep on top of the bills and spoil my two "kids" (labrador & Conure) as well as the Fiance. Fiance is a warehouse co-ordinator for one of the warehouses in the largest fruit and veg market in Australia and works horrible horrible shiftwork hours...eg. starts at 3am finishes at 1pm.
I've been in the finance industry for around 12years now...eek it's scarey it's been that long!
Don't have any human kids of my own, but have a lovely stepdaughter (fiance's daughter), but who knows??? I'm not too old to have kids of my own yet.
