As a child I was convinced that being a bus driver was the ideal job. It seemed hassle free and so many of the bus drivers I meet seemed to be jolly old souls. Now it seems like a nightmarish job where you have to deal with piggish school children and people arguing about change.
When I was a little older, I was also rather taken by the life of a photocopier repair man. Drifting from office to office chatting to office girls was one of the main draws, but fiddling about with a knackered fuser also appealed. Despite not being technically minded, I've always enjoyed buggering about with photocopiers at work. Alas, I'll always be nothing more than a photocopier operator.
