Urban,

You have u2u

Henners, isn't that someone who tells other people that they can retire tomorrow:lol:

AV Tech at QMC Med School :)
Until I get a job on the poorly paid side of the law ;)

Darren

I think the words he uses more often might be "redundant tomorrow" not "retire tomorrow" ;)

And those of you who are self-employed or directors, remember to use the clubs services by putting your free advert in the 'Business Directory'. (Members only though).

I sit and read the DSC website all day.
Still waiting for my first pay cheque though....

Engineer in Microwave communications & broadcast camera systems used for a well known "security" outfit based at New Scotland Yard. Very interesting job and I do freelance work in F1 and offshore power boat racing nin the middle east amongst other things!

So if you want a helicopter down link or any analogue or digital link systems, call me!:ninja:

We have a winner! :roll::roll::roll:

Hmmm, two CAD technicians on here then. What do you use Lee? We have just gone from 2004 to ADT.

Hi folks,

I work in sunny Shoreditch (East London) as a taxation consultant for personal tax affairs.

That's living in the fast lane eh?!

Wish I could ride my bike all day, but then no money no house no bike, so it's a wage slave I have to be!

I work for Hewlett Packard in a worldwide role as a Human Performance Technologist.

That means that I troubleshoot, analyse and provide solutions for teams who are not achieving the performance that they should be. That means seeing that they've got the right information flows, good management feedback and communication, good working practises and processes, the right working environment, the right tools to do their job, the right training, the right motivation and incentives, the right organisational design and that the workforce has the right capacity. The capacity thing is mostly intellectual capacity or the size of the team, but it's not about telling people that they might be redundant.

In today's corporate climate it's me that's more likely to be told I'm redundant, and I've felt under constant threat of that for the last 3 years. If that happens, I'm going to see what I can do about becoming a self-employed management consultant - so I'd be happy to hear from anyone who's made the jump into self-employment - and of course if there's anyone out there that needs this sort of stuff.

:rodent:"Jools....did you tell 'em you were a Certified Performance Technologist"

Jools:"I think most of the DSC knows that I'm certified"

I am a commerical motor vehicle mechanic or technician as the powers that be perfer to call us.Mainley on volvo trucks as i work for a volvo main dealer.I have to be very careful when working on my bikes as i tend to be a bit heavey handed.

Ruth,

A tax grass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Muppet Central
 

Let me give you an indication of some of the complete muppets I work with ... for the IT geeks ...

A security consultant is trying to get accounts created on some bastion hosts (Unix servers) to get to his firewalls. (We're putting in an entirely new infrastructure which is supposed to be very secure).

So he asks me and I get it organised for him through the relevant team (I did the design for where the bastion hosts sit etc). After the Unix admin guy asks him for the list of accounts the 'Security!!' consultant sends through a spreadsheet with a list of names. This would be fine but then I notice another worksheet in that spreadsheet called OS Root. In this worksheet there is a list of the firewall hosts, their IP addresses and the root passwords!!

:o :o

He would get sacked in any other environment ....
