Saw the thread about what is people working over christmas, and thought what is it that you guys work as??? By the amount of nice bikes some of you have you must have well paid jobs!!

So what you do??

I work for myself painter and decorator and alsorts really / look after the kids

Part time dosser, and currently unemployable according to the joke centre, but part time metalsmith, jewellery designer/maker, blacksmith, photographer, repairer, and life model....

... none of which I derived any income from yet, that situation comes and I can make a living from it, self employed I will be, because I will not defraud the system that kindly keeps me.

The past, civil engineering site engineer (tunelling), building estimator, construction technician, aircraft engineer and plant mechanic.

My bike, well I seem to like built to last and superb dependable engineering, also black. Cost wise, well, whatever it takes to get my visualisations into reality, once achieved I am content and need no other.
 
I draw stuff, like this...

Solutions Architect for a large IT Outsourcer (one of the biggest). Which basically means I design IT systems and make them work correctly before handing them over to the support guys. It's a bit yawn with long hours but it does pay quite well.

S'long as you include your full home address, and also whether everyone else at that address is out... then you're good to go.

And I'm sure you're very good at it.

On the other hand, most solution / "technical" architects I've encountered have a veneer or smattering of knowledge, loosely put together some pretty visio diagrams that have no real concept or explanation of how the systems they're hinting at will work together, then hassle the hell out of the SMEs to make an inadequate design work, go in on time, to budget and be supportable.

Guess how many of those factors actually get met? ;-)

All the time, the SMEs are scratching their heads, saying to each other, "Who the hell designed this, it'll never work..."

Present company excepted, I'm sure!
