Back at work again today

[Old Vantaa Man]

Bah. Teachers don't get long enough holidays.

It was nice to see so many of my students actually turned up once again for the new term. Been teaching this group for 3½ years now. "The Faithful Fourteen" are always good for a laugh (and decent Christmas prezzies).

Tonight we were talking about how it's cheaper to buy a new DVD player or even dishwasher than it is to have the fucker repaired.

Is it any coincidence that the word "mended" is pronounced "men-did"?

Exactly. So next time she dings the car, you can tell your mates "The car's been woman-did."

Erm..

So, anyway. What do you do for a living? I know Jase is an international arms and drugs smuggler. How about anyone else?

I am actually the official Notary Public for the Illuminati.

Whenever an official conspiracy document must be recognized I am the one who stamps it, scans it, disperses the pixels of the group IV TIFF image across the globe to several disparate, redundant, secure image object servers. Then I arrange for the submitter of the doucment to be transported to a secure, state of the art medical facility so they can receive total face re-construction and retain their anonymity.

In my more visible life I am a Senior Database Analyst with the public health system of Florida. I assist with the computation of capitation rates for pre-paid health plans. I also perform data requests, write technical documentation, and do anything else my boss tells me, of course. I am learning alot at my job, have a very cool boss, and my boss's boss is also very cool, so I am happy at my job.

In past occupational lives (the past 10 years) I worked in various roles in the IT industry in the following order:

(1) System installation technician
(2) Documentation specialist / technical writer
(3) Curriculum designer / classroom instructor of end users/administrators,
(4) Systems engineer
(5) Applications developer
(7) Software sales representative
( Business process analyst
(9) Project manager

In my spare time I also do various odd jobs for extra money (G.A.S. budget) and to keep the bills current to include: landscaping, DJ, house work, PC repair, PC instruction, personal fitness trainer, waiter

I am 3 weeks away from being certified as a professional fitness trainer and then will get my business license and insurance so I can pursue one venture instead of the myriad listed above.

I am also a ninja.

I'm a reporting specialist and data analyst for a telco in New Zealand. My job is dull as I have pretty much automated everythng I do and anything new I'm asked to do can be done from what I already have.

Luckily I can sit here posting shit on messageboards.

Im sitting in a 5 star resort on the north coast of Papua New Guinea, drinking beers by the swimming pool, watching cable on a large flat screen in my air-conditioned room, being waited on hand and foot...

Although, I did have to spend 5 nights in a remote jungle, filming an initiation ceremony where 14 year old boys are smothered in stinging nettles, then cut over 200 times with a razor blade, then beaten with canes and humiliated in front of the rest of the tribe...

More explanations and photos coming soon...
