Well I am right in the midst of launching this with a pal of mine who is based back in the UK. Something much closer to my heart than the property game which I have been in for far too long now.

We have just translated the site to English today. There is a rather amusing error on the model specifications which I will leave you to find. Not perfect grammar either tbh but that is not what we are about.

My man will be sorting the list of errors tomorrow.

I work for an Acoustic Flooring company. My role is to speak to architects, builders and help them design systems for conversions into flats and newbuild flats...
I think job title is like, acoustic/technical engineer... :)

Also have a P/T job twice a week, Wed/Sat, 'erecting' market stalls!! 8)

Sh*t (but short) hours, labour intensive, but the extra cash in my 'sky-rocket' lets me get all my 'boys-toys'!! :lol:

[Baph]

Official title is Senior Support Engineer, but basically I look after the database systems for huge logistics companies. Boring work, but right now there's little of it to do, and the weather is good.

Main advantage is that my ride to/from work takes me along the A5. :D

[Jester666]

I'm a slightly dented courier from the nightmare that is central London!! Ohhh the fun of taxis, WVM, cycle couriers (Red light runners) and tourist looking the wrong way! :shock:
TBH the proper taxis (Black Cabs) aren't as bad as you think. Most of them try thier best not to kill you and generally move over for you, the worst guys (& gals) are the buses, they just don't give a s**t! :toss: (Apologies to any bus drivers on the forum, hopefully you aren't included in the above comment :lol: )

[Tim in Belgium]

Still chemical engineering, exciting at times, but trying to get the company to put up the money to back your ideas can be a little trying.

Also dull at times with calcs, hazard assessments, paperwork etc, but think all jobs have their plus and minus points!

Always thought I'd just do this for a few years, and then sod off to become a ski instructor and/or deep sea diver. But getting used to the money and pay rises so can't complain at the age of 26 and first job out of Uni. I'll just wait and see, got a good project coming up which should keep me busy for a year or so.

[Tim in Belgium]

Any one out there a professional deep sea diver or know one? If so please PM so I can ask a few qusetions, it would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Tim

[tinpants]

Emergency Medical Technician, or put more bluntly, the one who does all the work and makes the paramedic look good!!!!



Oh yeah, and a full partner in a small but reasonably prosperous building company. So I guess you could say I'm a company director.








Money's still crap though :roll: - in both jobs :?

[Baph]

Money's still crap though :roll: - in both jobs :?

Money isn't everything though. My work is boring enough (unless you like database management etc - but it definately wouldn't do you any favours on a friday night).

The good thing is that I was recently offered a new job, with a different company. The offer was the same job as I do now, but twice the money. Enough to sit up & make anyone pay attention. I talked to my current employer to ask what they could do (if anything). They gave me a substatial pay rise, and offered to pay 'travelling costs'.

Dont get me wrong, the money is still crap, but now I have a free SV to play on (they are paying finance, insurance - inc. breakdown, tax and fuel :D I just have to pay maintenance costs - servicing etc), and it's not all that far from the offer I was given after you work things out.

Edit: My brother is a Paramedic based in Leeds, and his wife is his partner (and Ambulance Technician), so repec' for the job you do & the grief that I know comes your way now & again for only trying to help.

My official title is Service development project manager, but as we made all our development staff redundant I get to do all the work as well.

I look after the project management requirements for a hosting centre, so that means comms, application servers, database servers, web servers, content management. etc. About 180 assorted servers, 40% Sun Solaris, 40% Linux, and 20% for the foolish customers who bought windoze based applications.

I am also a Java developer, getting more into C#, with about 23 years IT experience
