I think I'll be giving you a call soon

You changed your avatar from a little p*ssy to and old plucker, what's that all about?

At 16 i went to college to study motor vehicle matinence. After 2 years I got my lvl 3 qualification. Whilst being at college and a short time afterwards I worked for a cleaning company where every sunday I would go in with a team and clean a massive newspaper print press. I was getting sick of the work and was about to leave untill the same company offered me to do security work. I was doing saturday and sunday, 12 hour days at either severn trent sewage works plant (bloody stunk!!!) or a plastic injection mould plant (******* hooooogeee, but did smell nice when the machince was on ;D) I did this for another 1 1/2 years as the pay was quite good. But then a great oppertunity arose. I found out that MAN truck and bus was wanting an apprentice hgv mechanic. I got the job and ive been doing it for about 3 months now :D

Suppose I'd better fill this bit in now then....
 

What is my job? That's something I ask myself every day :042:,

The thread looks to me like a load of CV's so here goes:

After leaving school I was a complete layabout, dad was working in India, Sudan and Austrailia so he just kept giving me money (mainly because he though I was still in 6th form!). Anyway I had to get a job and opted for the RAF, passed the entrance exams and was due to start, until I got a job packing pies, but the money was reall good and I stayed there for a few years, scotching the RAF idea (I know, I know)

Anyway, after a while I got sick of that and got a job fixing Computers, the kind of fixing that requires a scope, meter etc. I'd been playing with radio controll and communications so I knew one end of a diode from the other.

This progressed to field support and IT was my path for the rest of my cursed days

I've been doing this for the best part of 20 years now, progressing a bit more with each new possition.

Today I work for the UK's main Telco provider, running a small team of technical guys rolling out Voice and Data communications.

The job sucks ( I might have mentioned this somewhere already), but the Pension is a bit better than elseware, I work from home, I get loads of leave and anything I work over 36 hours I have to take as time off, the following week!

I've worked in lots of places that many people haven't even seen, I've been irradiated, stripped naked and showered (outside - in November, in Scotland), had guns pointed at me and nearly been shot when I drove through the first checkpoint into faslane naval base....

I once brought the MBNA (credit card) customer call centre to it's knees, because I conected a fibre cable to the wrong port, and I managed to turn off the network in the Dublin Stock Exchange before leaving for lunch, although I never made it from the trading floor! but these were over 14 years ago, I'm much better now.

I think I've enjoyed the experiences of where my job has taken me, over the job itself.

If anyone has an urge to wonder how an IP address actually works - I could tell you, but I might have to kill you afterwards, or myself!

It's the result of a funny game based on a theme called "bass head" from a friend's music forum. People were displaying their basses in a pic where the bass is placed upside down in front of your face like in the examples below, (and these have to be only basses of a particular make, in this case, Music Man Ernie Ball StingRay 5's)

They must do a pill for that.

No, I think that is beyond medical science!

Ive studied IT in highschool and tried to take that a little further in colledge but dropped out 6 months later... I've been building websites and programming from the age of 17, and that's where I've stranded today.
I'm a webdesigner and developer for a local company for about a year now, and hope to be so for quite a while...
