I make the internets .... it's easier to tell that to people that what I actually do.

Actually I'm mainly a backend developer in e-retail, I really sully myself with actual web-code just a bit of C# and PL/SQL here and there.

Mainly it's about team management and getting the job done these days though, lots more about communication and context than actual coding.

photographer. design/advertising area. strictly no sunsets/dogs/weddings/babies or dealing with the general public.
having seen how office jobs/managers make people miserable and hate their jobs i realise how lucky i am.
pay is variable but can be very lucrative.
wouldn't swap it for anything.

Medical Writer here. I help Big Pharma peddle their wares. Tastes a little bit like sucking Satan's c*ck sometimes, but I genuinely like wot I do on a day to day basis.

Used to be a research scientist, but got very jaded due to all the politics and constantly begging for money from funding bodies.

hugor - you work more than 90 hours a week and still have time to ride a bike?

I start at 7 most mornings and work well into the evenings during the week.
I provide an oncall service for the hospital 24/7 5 days per week and 1 in 2 weekends. Depending on the volume of work that comes in my hours vary.
None of this is on the books officially as it would contravene the European work regulations.
That has fortunately has not occurred in Aus where I'm from and hours like that are not unusual in the medical industry.
We just MTFU and get on with it.
As for bike riding I can usually ride while technically being on duty, I usually have a few hours buffer at the very least from phone call to required attendance.
Most of my work can be dealt with over the phone.

I think the problem is that "test" and "training" were wrong in STPExporterImpl.generateSTPFilename(). Needed to be like this:

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);
}

Please do. You'll catch your death in this weather.

Singletrackmind actually has one of the most important jobs in our [i]society[/i], and of anyone on this forum. ๐Ÿ˜€

And if he went on strike, society as we know it would collapse. ๐Ÿ˜

I translate medical records into an internationally recognised coded format for statistical and finance purposes. You get to read people's medical notes but other that it's very dull, nit-picky work.

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...) ๐Ÿ˜‰
