Name: It's unpronounceable and Turkish. Just use my forum name, lol.
Age: 22
Location: Tyne and Wear
Occupation: Nissan worker. I build doors for the Leaf and Qashqai!
Car: None just yet. Planning on getting a K11, as soon as I've passed my test.
Previous Cars: A series of hideous Chinese motorcycles.
Music: Mostly scouse house. Russian hardbass, too. Anything that goes "donk".
Hobbies: Quite a list. I read a lot, and like to tinker with machines. I game, too.

Likes: The idea of pimping my own ride. I can easily see myself spending way too much time and money on pointless (but cool-looking) modifications.
Dislikes: Being unable to legally drive a car at the age of 22. I'm working on that, though.

That must be so unfulfilling
 
That must be so unfulfilling

I'm under too much time pressure to feel unfulfilled, and when I do get time to myself my massive salary helps to distract me from my screaming existential boredom.

I'm working on getting a transfer to Maintenance. Pays less than Production, but at least I'll get to use my noggin a bit more. Only trouble is the Maths requirement. Wish I'd stuck in a bit more at school...

You need to be happy at work!
Good luck with the transfer I wish you all the best.
