Oh that old trick. Asking what I used to do. Well I will never tell you that I work  as a sleeper in this World for an Alien race that will one day return and take me home. Once home and debriefed (mind your own pants) I will have to tell them that you are not worth saving as a specie or indeed the husk of an existence you pretend to enjoy is not worth time or effort to understand. All you and your World want is to continue your species at the detriment of all others. Not worth the time or money it would take to reeducate you.

Social media analytics. I essentially stalk people on line and take data out of things like twitter (which I hate), etc and we make it pretty and package it for right wing (conservatism, to be clear lol) social psychology papers etc. If you read a source about trolling on youtube comments, chances are its from our thinktank. Its as fun as it sounds.

I worked in Special Events for 35+ years.
I'm now "Life Enrichment Manager" in a senior living facility working with seniors with Memory Loss, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's Disease. Brain Cancer, late-stage Dementia and Hospice.
It's very intense but I love working with seniors, trying to make them feel cared for, loved and most importantly 'worthwhile'
in the later and final stages of their lives.
I've achieved a lot but have never felt so rewarded by any job in my life.

Then ran a mobile corporate casino business until I moved to the US in 2002

I was back in the UK July 2016 for the 50th Anniversary of the London Playboy Club


I trained at the Victoria in Edgeware Road.  Playboy took over shortly afterwards and I was offered a transfer to Park Lane but never fancied the uniform!!  Instead I went to Sun City and stayed in Southern Africa for 13 years working in various casinos before returning to the UK and only ever worked in London.  I too worked for Ladbrokes but my last club was one owned by our club's sponsor!  Hope you enjoyed the anniversary bash, I think it was at the Hippodrome?  I know a couple of people who attended.
