   Moi...

   Programme (noooo, not TV) Manager (think Project Manager for multiple projects) for an Investment Bank (ohhhh you're gonna luv me for that nugget), IT/Accounting Systems. Currently working on 2 hefties, Platform Tech for Proposition RDR. and a Change Management Project. Which means I talk a lot, listen a lot, plan a lot and basically get questioned a lot.
   No idea how I got here, not thinking of being here much longer TBH.

   I can't remember if it was profitable or not. I don't think so, somehow...

   Never get high off your own supply.

    Property Underwriter. I eff about with spreadsheets and catastrophe models in order to come up with a risk transfer premium for us paying for reinstatement of large multinationals' damaged buildings, contents, stock and resulting lost profits in the event that something wet, hot, shaky or windy comes to town (not an exhaustive list). And also come up with a structured programme that allows the right paper to be issued in the right countries that meets the client's needs and local regulations as efficiently as possible. And lunches. And risk engineering programmes to help reduce the chances and/or consequences of bad things happening.

    Only one of those counts as an actual 'job' though, doesn't it? (at least when the OH is asking...)

    Director of a biotech working in IVF. Extremely interesting and rewarding. Kinda varied too. Sitting in a lecture in Riyadh listening to a lecture and reading STW! Not great for doing enough MTBing though.

    Telecoms Engineer (Yeh, I get to call myself an engineer despite only being educated to A Level/BTEC/HNC level )

    I do fibre optics, and over the course of an average week, get to play with gennys, water pumps, fire, compressors and winches, then an hour later be gingerly poking fibres about with a plastic cocktail stick trying to avoid snapping a brittle fibre and taking a corporate big name offline. (Its always someone big and important that goes off, never a primary school or tiny cellsite )

    P.S Officially I think I'm a technician, but most people will just accept I am an Engineer

    I spend most days standing around on street corners.
    I don't earn very much.
    Chugger?

    No, would it help if I add I don't wear any knickers?

    OK , 2 more guesses

    Firstly . Kinky Traffic Warden?

    Secondly , Mobile swimming instructor?

    
    No.
    I don't think I should tell, it's not actually that interesting...

    Amb technician. Worked for an insurance company/bank for the seven years before that.
    Hated it towards the end.
    Loving my job now, hate all the shite surrounding it. Mostly due to the current austerity measures.
    But you would probably have guessed that..

    if (series.equals("Training"))
    {
    filenameBuilder.append("For-training-purposes-only");
    filenameBuilder.append(UNDERSCORE);
    }
    else if (series.equals("Test"))
    {
    filenameBuilder.append("For-test-purposes-only");
    filenameBuilder.append(UNDERSCORE);
    }

    I wondered where that "paste" disappeared to. The perils of working and forum surfing at the same time. Sorry about that folks.
