I do one of the most interesting and varied jobs in the world:

Noone has ever asked me to intervene for their bear but in 3 years I have been asked to do many things. It remains a pleasure. If you do not like people and like representing them do not get involved in politics. I have 62,000 customers and the small team of helpers and I do everything we can to look after them.
