In other words you're a consultant?

No, I was lying because my actual job isn't like that at all, it's sort of the exact opposite.

Currently, I'm a professional badass (aka student).

This summer, I will be an IT auditor intern for Fidelity Investments, a major U.S. financial management firm based in New England.

I have two friends who are serving in the military; one in the Army and one in the Marines.
When questioned on what his job is, the one in the Army says, "I work in the communication center relaying messages from the command staff to the ground crews."
When questioned on what his job is, the one in the Marine Corp glibly replies "Killing."

When questioned on what my job is, I usually reply with "Workin' hard for The Man."

That's because Marines are riflemen first and what ever else they are trained to do second.

I'm the Team Administrator/PA for Individual Giving (a fundraising team) at the British Red Cross. Not something I'm planning to do long-term, but good to get a foot in the door with a big charity (recruitment in the third sector tends to be pretty incestuous). Also, my boss is really supportive about personal development, so I should get some cool training out of it. As a bonus, when he was sent to Bangladesh last week to look at the work we've been doing after the cyclone, he brought me back a litre of vodka.

Wow, this makes no sense at all to me.

I'm a full-time music student, so I mainly go to school. I've taught a lot of one-on-one guitar lessons and I'm currently working part-time with a local high-school music department.

Also sometimes I walk my landlord's dog.

I spend 3/4 of my day manually starting ancient VB6 text parsers that failed overnight.
Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

It is. I absolutely hate it. My other developers hate it too. They hate I'm having to do this ****. But it is the only way in which we can keep our data up to date.

Why is it that 90% of companies dont seem to have a sodding clue on how to use IT Properly.?
2008-01-26, 10:54 AM #68
Because they think of the immediate future instead of the long view. Save a little money now, rather than doing things right. Of course, if they did them right in the first place they'd save even more down the road. Management types never seem to grasp this, though.

I don't watch TV a lot; I'm not even sure if I've seen that movie. One of my pet peeves is people talking as if they are part of an organization they like when they are not really part of it.

So never mind, I guess.

Mocking is really the wrong word there.
