Traffic warden, working on commission

do traffic wardens really work on comission? No wonder this december Ive already got 2 parking tickets even though for the past two years they have been leaving my van well alone!

P.S

Get a proper job   :P

Had to quote this as it's pretty much identical as me!! Here goes:

Time-served mechanical fitter (although I have 3 years experience  :laugh:). When I recieved my papers I mananged to get my company to send me into university on a day-release programme, meaning I would move into the office at some point. And I moved in at the beginning of this year to train as a CAD draughtsman/design engineer for a hydraulic engineering company.  :happy2:

I'm noticing that a high percentage of you guys work in engineering related jobs - Anything to do with German cars being so well engineered?
Maybe more to do with have to be once they get a few years old   :grin:
I did notice when they were new there was alot of accountants and IT owners but they only stick around for a year maybe two then move on to something else and leave the low paid Engineers to pick up the sloppy seconds. :evilgrin:
